NES Schools

  • HISD launched the NES at 28 historically underperforming campuses in the 2023-2024 academic year. At that time, another 57 schools asked to be included in the NES; for the current year, these are known as NES-aligned (NES-A) campuses. In the coming year, HISD will not have a distinction between NES and NES-A schools. There will only be two kinds of campuses: NES and non-NES.

    An additional 45 schools will join the NES in the 2024-2025 academic year. This includes 26 schools that were required to join based on school letter grades of F (rating of 59 or below ) or low D (rating of 60 to 64) as calculated using 2022-2023 state accountability data and the Texas Education Agency’s methodology. 

    The figure also includes 19 schools that voluntarily joined the NES. They were eligible to participate based on their school letter grade of high D (65 to 69). The principals of these schools opted in to the NES after gathering feedback from staff, families, and members of their schools’ Shared Decision Making Committees.

    This list includes NES and NES-A schools for the 2023-2024 school year. In the 2024-2025 school year, HISD will not distinguish between NES and NES-A.
