    It's been crazy in the 20 years or so since I was a middle schooler. When I started Middle School at Stevenson, there were 8 middle schools in the district (Stevenson, Rudder, Hobby, Neff, Anson Jones, Pease, Sam Rayburn, and Sul Ross). Now there are 14. There were 4 high schools in the Northside district when I started middle school (Marshall, Holmes, Jay, and Clark). Now there are 10.

    When I started at Stevenson, the attendance zone for the school was basically defined by Bandera Road, running out what is now Mainland Road to Heath Road, cutting over on Heath to Grissom, going out Grissom/Culebra to 1604 and then back to Bandera, but including all of Helotes as far out as San Antonio Ranch. At that, the school probably had fewer than 1,500 students and was housed entirely in one building with about 3 portables at most.

    Now that same area is served by at least 4 middle schools (Stevenson, Zachry, Stinson, and Jefferson (when it opens). Amazing.

    you're forgetting about connally middle school which is about 5 minutes down tezel from stevenson. i'm almost certain there's another one in there too.

    Stinson is capped, I believe.

    T-Pain, Brandeis opens in the 2008-2009 school year and I've heard that they are going to build another HS around Bandera Rd. and 211 (i think that's the road). I didn't realized that Pipe Creek is part of NISD and they go to OC.

    and then there's this bond

    Jackson for 2 years, Stevenson for 1, Marshall for 2, Taft for 2.

    As someone who will be back in 28 days for his 20 year reunion (oy! ) It amazes me how much NISD has grown.

    When I moved to Misty Oaks in 1982, the area was as FWD described. You went to Stevenson then Marshall. Then Taft opened up in 1985 and we all shifted over there.
    We had the option like S y mentioned....Seniors stayed at Marshall, everyone else went to Taft unless you were in electives that were not offered at Taft. That whole area blew up about '95 and just has been crazy since. I have a friend who is a librarian in NISD and she told me Stevens will be capped next year. 10 high schools, two staduims...NISD is the fastest growing district in the state and show no sign of stopping.

    I was wrong, there are (or soon will be) 5 middle schools serving the area that just a generation ago could only fill one middle school. I didn't realize that Connolly draws most of Northwest Crossing and the neighborhoods right across Tezel from that one.

    Mindboggling.

    The growth out in that area has been unbelievable over the past 20 years. My kids are in private school right now, but will most likely go to public HS. Problem is, we don't know where they'll go. Using my address, they'd go to Clark, using their dads address, Jefferson. My son wants to go to Marshall because that's where most of his friends will be going.

    btw...Maverick, Longfellow, Jefferson...many MANY years ago

    Bracken Christian, Bulverde Elementary, Smithson Valley Middle, and Smithson Valley High!!!

    When I graduated SV in 98 the total population of the school was 1200

    the Senior class last year was 1400

    The school has quadrupled in size, and went from a small 4a school to a big 5a in about 3 years, its crazy out here.

    Clark is starting to look pretty ghetto now too. It's near 2,800. I know Brandeis is taking a lot of the Leon Springs kids, though.

    And I was Locke Hill, Hobby (with a break in Wisconsin), Clark.
