2026-2027 Middle school attendance zones approved
On Monday, December 15, 2025, the EMS ISD Board of Trustees approved updates to middle school attendance zones impacting Highland Middle School, Prairie Vista Middle School, and Wayside Middle School. These adjustments are part of the district’s long-range planning efforts to balance enrollment and support student learning across campuses.
As part of the approved plan:
- Current 7th grade students may continue attending the middle school they currently attend or choose to attend the middle school they are newly zoned for.
- Current 6th grade students will attend the middle school they are zoned for beginning in the 2026–2027 school year.
- Families of current 7th grade students who wish to remain at their current campus will have the opportunity to indicate this choice during returning student verification in the spring.
Families are encouraged to review the approved attendance zone map and information slide below to see whether their neighborhood is affected. Additional details are available in the FAQ linked on this page.
