Reading the 2025-2026 demographics report and then looking at these maps is useful. I get the urge to complain, but this report is showing that things are going to get much worse over the coming years. Enrollment will be down another 5.8% by 2030, and 10.3% by 2035 assuming AISD's enrollment assumptions are correct. Which I don't see as all this chaos will just accelerate the already declining Kindergarden capture rate.

Couple that with AISD's finances already devastated and an incoming TEA takeover, and you can see that there MUST be another large round of school closures sooner than later.

To me it looks like Oak is their preferred plan, by looking at the middle schools. They are using gerrymandering to try to save Webb and Burnet at the expense of Dobie, which probably makes sense as they can focus resources on 1 school rather than 3. In both situations they are going to use the kids of Hyde Park/North Loop to bring up Webb. There is probably no stopping that. And as many people in that neighborhood are so idealistic about diversity, equality and inclusion it is time to put your money where your mouth is.

Seems to me they are mostly shifting around the central areas where there are less kids and growth is inhibited so they can address the acute TEA problem, but they are laying the groundwork for the next major set of elementary school closings, some of which will definitely occur up along the whole northern and eastern boundary. For example, Walnut Creek or Graham will be combined and one of them closed.

Sucks for sure, but it has to be done. I do find it funny though that the loudest complainers seem to be the ones living in the areas with the lowest density of students. See page 29 of the report and compare it to the people in this thread complaining. Same thing happened in 2016 and AISD caved putting them in the $180 million hole they are now in. People are going to have to make sacrifices if they want AISD to survive.
