Elementary Attendance Zone Input

Overview

Wichita Falls ISD is planning for changes to elementary attendance zones in connection with two key campus transitions:

  • Jefferson Elementary will close at the end of the 2025–2026 school year.

  • McNiel Elementary will open at the start of the 2026–2027 school year.

These changes require adjustments to current elementary attendance zones to ensure balanced enrollment and efficient use of space across campuses on the west side of town.

Community Input

District administrators and the Board of Trustees are seeking feedback from staff, parents, and community members regarding the proposed attendance zone changes. Meetings have already been held with both the Teacher Advisory Council and the Community Advisory Council to gather preliminary input.

You are invited to review the proposed maps below and provide your feedback by completing the community survey.

Affected Campuses

  • Crockett Elementary – A portion of the current attendance zone will move to West Foundation Elementary.

  • West Foundation Elementary – A portion of the current attendance zone will move to McNiel Elementary.

  • Fowler Elementary – A portion of the current attendance zone will move to McNiel Elementary.

  • Jefferson Elementary – All students in the current attendance zone will move to McNiel Elementary.

Current 4th graders affected by the rezoning may choose to remain at their current campus for 5th grade during the 2026–2027 school year.
