  1. How can I obtain school district boundary maps?
  2. What is the difference between school district boundaries and school attendance zones?
  3. How can I find out which school district and campus my child will attend?
  4. Can my child attend school in District A, even though we live in District B?
  5. My property sits on the boundary between District A and District B. Which school district does my child attend?
  6. Where else can I go to verify school district boundary information?
  7. The boundaries TEA shows for my school district are incorrect. How do I submit a change?
  8. My child has to take a bus 45 minutes to school every morning, even though there is a school (in a different school district) right across the street from my house. Who makes this decision? Is there anything I can do about it?
  9. Where did TEA get the school district boundary information?
  10. The school I am looking for is in the wrong location on the map or isn't there at all. What can I do?
  11. Can I find charter schools in the School District Locator?
  12. The district and school data listed to the left of the map is incorrect. Who updates this?
  1. How can I obtain school district boundary maps?

    You can print maps showing general boundary information from the School District Locator. For more information about district boundaries, contact the district, county tax assessing authority, or county appraisal district.

  2. What is the difference between school district boundaries and school attendance zones?

    School district boundaries define the geographic limits of school districts established under Chapter 11 of the Texas Education Code. School districts must submit information about their boundaries to TEA under Section 13.010 of the Texas Education Code.

    School attendance zones are geographic areas that a district uses to assign children to schools. TEA does not collect school attendance zone information. Contact school districts for information about attendance zones.

  3. How can I find out which school district and campus my child will attend?

    School districts assign children to schools by attendance zones, other assignment methods, or transfer policies. Once you find out your child's school district, you can contact that district to find out the school your child will attend.

    TEA collects and reports information regarding school district boundaries. TEA makes available reproductions in electronic formats. Because the accuracy of the original data and reproduction techniques varies, TEA's maps show approximations of actual school district boundaries. These approximations are adequate for general information, but are not suitable for commercial transactions or legal purposes. For more detailed information about school district boundaries, contact the districts, county tax assessing authority, or county appraisal district.

  4. Can my child attend school in District A, even though we live in District B?

    Generally, a child must attend the school district in which he or she resides. School districts can make transfer agreements to accept each others' students. Transfer arrangements may also result from wealth-sharing arrangements under Chapter 41 of the Texas Education Code. For more information, contact your school district or the TEA Division of State Funding at (512) 463-9238.

    In addition, Texas Education Code, Chapter 29, Subchapter G, provides for the Public Education Grant (PEG) program. Under this provision, a child who attends a school that does not meet specific performance criteria may seek to attend another public school in the district. The child can also use a public education grant to attend a district other than the district in which the student resides. For more information, see the Performance Reporting web site. For funding-related information, contact the TEA Division of State Funding at (512) 463-9238. For questions about the PEG program, contact the TEA Division of Performance Reporting at (512) 463-9704.

    A parent may make a transfer agreement with “District A” according to Section 25.036 of the Education Code.The receiving school district may charge a tuition fee to the extent permitted by Section 25.038.

  5. My property sits on the boundary between District A and District B. Which school district does my child attend?

    Generally, a child is eligible to attend the school district in which the child resides. If a residence is located on a district boundary, the boards of either or both districts may determine that the student is eligible to enroll in their district. The school district board of trustees in the district makes the final determination if there is a question. If there is a dispute regarding a student's residence, a grievance may be filed with the district by or on behalf of the student. There is no commissioner’s decision, reported court opinion, or other legal precedent relating to a determination of student residency within a district boundary.

  6. Where else can I go to verify school district boundary information?

    In addition to TEA and the school districts, you can verify school district boundary information with the county tax assessor-collectors' offices and appraisal districts. 

  7. The boundaries TEA shows for my school district are incorrect. How are changes submitted?

    If you discover an error in the boundary information reported by TEA, inform your school district. District officials will inform TEA and provide evidence of corrected boundaries. TEA will verify the changes with other affected districts.

    School districts must submit information about their boundaries to TEA under Section 13.010 of the Texas Education Code.

  8. My child has to take a long bus ride to school every morning, even though there is a school (in a different school district) right across the street from my house. Who makes this decision? Is there anything I can do about it?

    School district boundaries, in most cases, were drawn several decades ago. As a result, newer housing developments or subdivisions may be inconveniently split among two or more school districts. In such cases, residents may petition for detachment and annexation of territory from one district to another, as outlined in Section 13.051 of the Texas Education Code.

  9. Where did TEA get the school district boundary information?

    TEA collects maps and legal descriptions of school district boundaries from school districts under Section 13.010 of the Texas Education Code. Districts are required to submit any changes to TEA. This information forms the basis for the digitized school district boundary maps maintained by TEA.

  10. The school I am looking for is in the wrong location on the map or isn't there at all. What can I do?

    Only regular, alternative, and charter schools are shown in the School District Locator. Budgeted, DAEP (disciplinary) and JJAEP (juvenile justice) school locations are maintained by TEA but are currently not displayed. For more information on specific schools of these types, go to AskTED.

    School locations provided in mapping applications by TEA are approximate for general information only. Although the locations are being updated continuously, there is a lag time between actual changes like a new school, and when the data is updated. If you see a discrepancy, consult the school address listing among the school district data, or contact the school or school district for more information.

    The last major update for schools was in July 2013. For geographic discrepancies, please email us so that we can update our data.

  11. Can I find charter schools in the School District Locator?

    Charter schools are shown within the boundaries of ESC regions and school district boundaries, but charter school boundaries are not maintained in the maps. Contact the Division of Charter School Administration for additional information related to charter school boundaries. 

  12. The district and school data listed to the left of the map is incorrect. Who updates this?

    Information for each district is maintained by the district itself in the Texas Education Online Directory website.

    The district's TED Administrator is the person responsible for maintaining this data. 

Contact TEA GIS Administrator with technical questions regarding this application. Contact the school district if there are administrative questions on school district boundaries.

Point dataset of Texas regular, charter, and alternative schools, excluding disciplinary alternative ed. (DAEP),  juvenile justice alternative ed. (JJAEP) institutions, and the Windham school district.   Purpose:

Created to support the Texas Education Agency's online School District Locator app.   Supplemental_Information: Does not include non-public schools. See http://www.tepsac.com/directory/index.htm for that information. How created: beginning with the 2009 dataset, schools which were listed in the Texas Education Directory (http://askted.tea.state.tx.us) as having closed were deleted, then the addresses of schools listed in the TED as new schools which were not found in the 2009 set were geocoded and the results were appended to the remaining 2009 features. Some, but by no means all, of the data have been corrected based on aerial photography. School locations are approximations, and are for general information purposes only.

The Texas Education Agency collects maps and legal descriptions of school district boundaries under Section 13.010 of the Texas Education Code.

Several years ago, the TEA worked with the Texas Legislative Council to digitize school district boundaries. The agencies used the information provided by school districts in conjunction with county-level Department of Transportation (TxDOT) maps to transfer the boundaries from paper to computer.

Geographic data for schools was created by the Information Technology Division to enhance TEA mapping applications and for general information purposes. The source of the data is the Texas Education Directory maintained by TEA.

Accuracy of School District Boundaries

While continuous efforts are made to ensure the accuracy of school district boundaries, it must be stressed that the boundariesin the digital maps available through TEA are approximations of actual school district boundaries and are for general information purposes only.School District Locator should not be used to attempt determination of a school attendance zones or legal boundaries. To verify legal descriptions of boundaries or to determine school attendance, please contact the school districts.

The accuracy of the digital boundary data is determined by several factors, including the scale of the maps and accuracy of the legal descriptions provided by school districts, the standards used to digitize the boundaries, and the scale of the TxDOT maps used in the digitizing process, which in most cases was 1 inch: 1 mile, or about 1:63,000.

School district boundary data is updated annually. 2009-2010 data has been updated in the School District Locator site as of July 2010 and is effective for the 2010-2011 school year.

Accuracy of School Locations

The last major update of schools geographic data was in July 2010. School districts are responsible for providing accurate physical addresses for schools by submitting address to the Texas Education Directory. When a valid physical address is not provided, the mailing address is used. Geographic school data is then created using address matching software, and in some casesis verified against digital orthography photos, or other maps. Approximately 10% of all schools could not be matched to a street location.

School locations provided in mapping applications by TEA are approximate and are for general information purposes only.Although the locations are being continuously updated, there is a certain lag time between actual changes (for example a new school) and when the data is updated. If a discrepancy is noted, the user should then consult the school address listing among the school district data, or contact the school or school district for more information. For school officials, if discrepancies are found, please Contact Us, along with updating the physical address in the Texas Education Online Directory.

Non-Geographic Data and Other TEA Data Sources

School district and school information from the Texas Education Directory is listed when a district is selected in the School District Locator.

Additional non-geographic data for school districts and schools can be obtained from the Texas Education Online Directory. Data can be matched to a school by the field called 'CAMPUS' or 'School Number', which is a unique identifier for each school.

Performance reports and other statisticaldata can be found at the TEA Performance Reporting website.

 The Texas School District Locator (SDL) provides basic information for Texas schools, districts, and education service centers (ESCs) in map format. It also provides school district information, district accountability ratings, and enrollment and performance reports in text format.

Map Page

The School District Locator map page has the following search features:

  • Search capabilities based upon district name, district number, county, or ESC region
  • School district and ESC region boundaries
  • School type and location
  • Ability to zoom to or identify an individual school
  • Contact information for district trustees, and staff
  • District accountability ratings and enrollment information
  • School listings with address, accountability rating, and school type
  • Links to TEA school district reports (performance, financial, etc.)
  • Links to school district and ESC websites

This map was produced by the Texas Education Agency. It is for informational purposes only--it has not been prepared for, nor is it suitable for, legal or engineering purposes. Positions shown are based on information available at the time the map data was last updated. They are approximations, and are not the product of an on-the-ground survey.

    Additional School District Information

    Visit the Additional School District Information for selected reports from both the Texas Education Directory of School District Information (AskTED) and Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR) site.

    AskTED is updated daily. It provides organizational information for school, district, county, and regions in Texas. TAPR provides performance reports for schools, districts, regions, and the state.

    Data Download

    You can use the Data Downloads page to download Texas school district boundaries and ESC regions in a popular format for geographical data called a shapefile. The downloaded ZIP file archive for each data set includes six component files for the shapefile, plus metadata in HTML and XML formats.

    Additional Information

    You can visit our Frequently Asked Questions page for more information about maps and district boundaries. You can also email the TEA GIS Administrator at gisadmin@tea.state.tx.us with technical questions about this application. Contact the school district if there are administrative questions on school district boundaries.
