Spring ISD offers both choice and program opportunities for students. The goal is to ensure families can find the best fit for their student, whether it’s taking part in a specialty program at their neighborhood campus or applying to one of the district’s schools of choice.
The opportunities to explore different interests and careers are extensive and distinguish Spring ISD as a district of choice with no limits on what students can achieve.
With students at the center of everything we do, we want our families to have options as they look for the right fit for their child. No matter what school your child attends, our mission is always the same: Provide an excellent education that prepares students for lifelong success – in college, career and/or the military.
All fifth and eighth grade students in Spring ISD and outside of the district are eligible to apply.
Please note that students who are zoned to Springwoods Village Middle School do not need to complete the school choice application for Springwoods Village Middle School as they have automatic acceptance to it as their zoned neighborhood school.

Go to Apply and follow the instructions on the website to set up your account and complete your application. You may save your application in progress and return to complete it at another time. Once complete, you will click on “Submit.” After you have submitted the applications, no more changes may be made, and you will see a confirmation screen. Print this screen for your records.
Typically, the process should take roughly 10-15 minutes.
No. Only out of district applicants who have applied by the deadline, have until 1/16 to upload their report cards, attendance records, and any other required documents listed within the application.
Once the application is completed online, you will receive an automated message that will be sent to the email address you provided when you created an account.
It is the user’s responsibility to protect the integrity of any information entered in the system. This includes but is not limited to passwords or personal information about you and your child. You must also agree not to share your login information or password with anyone other than a parent or legal guardian.
No. You must call the Office of School Choice at 281-891-6728 and an administrator will assist you.
We encourage students and families to visit the campuses, either for a tour or during one of the showcase nights.
All applications submitted by the deadline will be entered into the Phase One review to determine eligibility. Those eligible students will be notified by late January that they are progressing to Phase Two, which may involve an audition and/or interview. Students who advance beyond Phase Two will then be entered into a lottery.
The lottery is conducted in accordance with pre-approved guidelines. The online system generates the list of applicants that are to be awarded seats with an ordered wait list.
Parents will receive notification by email if their child has been selected once the lottery has been completed.
No. By accepting your seat in a school of choice, you are committing to either three years (for middle schools) or four years (for high schools) of enrollment in that particular school/pathway.
Once the initial emails have been sent to those students who are accepted, parents must accept the seats. If additional seats become available, students on the waitlist will be offered a seat in the order in which the student appears in the waiting pool.
No. There is a Spring ISD Sibling Policy. Our Spring ISD schools of choice will accept 10% of all identified qualified siblings who enter the lottery. This policy applies to siblings residing in the same household only. Sibling applicants will be included in a separate sibling lottery reflecting 10 percent of the available seats. If more than 10 percent apply, these students will enter into a separate random lottery prior to the general random selection lottery. Those accepted will be notified. Those not accepted within the 10 percent lottery will have an opportunity to then enter their name in the general random lottery with all other students. Keep in mind that siblings will only be classified as such if and only if they have entered the lottery by applying, qualifying, and progressing through the first and second phases.
*A sibling who currently attends a Spring ISD school of choice is defined as a student who is currently in 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th, or 11th grade. This means that this student will actually be in the identified school of choice the following year. Siblings in grades 8th and 12th grade will not be included as those students will no longer be in the identified school of choice the following year.
Each students’ advancement is determined using a matrix/rubric that reviews grades, attendance, STAAR scores, conduct, MAP scores, an audition/interview, essay (if applicable), and lottery selection. If one child does not advance from one phase to the next, then they are ultimately not selected. There are no exceptions.
No. District employee applicants will be included in a separate district employee lottery reflecting 10 percent of the available seats per grade level. If less than 10 percent per grade level apply, all-district employee students who apply, qualify, and progress through the first and second phases will be accepted. Those not accepted within the 10 percent lottery will have an opportunity to then enter their name in the general random lottery with all other students. District employee status will be verified prior to the random selection lottery.
Students who are accepted into a school of choice and are zoned to any Spring ISD school, transportation will be provided. Students who are accepted into a school of choice and are not zoned to a Spring ISD school, transportation must be provided by the family.
