Home / Houston ISD
Houston Independent School Districtmap first, then homes.
Verify the address, grade and school year with the district. Then compare the homes, costs and commute.
Start with the address
Where is the Houston ISD boundary map?
The Houston Independent School District (HISD) publishes its official school-assignment resources here: HISD Demographics & Zoning: School Locator and 2026–27 boundary maps. Start with the address, grade and school year, then verify the assignment with the district before relying on it in a home purchase.
Use the School Locator for the address, then check the maps for the intended school year. Magnet and other choice programs have separate application rules.

How these housing numbers were calculated
Source: Houston Association of REALTORS® MLS. Active snapshot: September 24, 2026. Days to offer uses homes with an actual closing date from June 1 through August 31, 2026. These are different cohorts.
HAR board 147; sale listings; both residential and condo MLS classes; residential property type; active status excluding Coming Soon. Duplicate MLS numbers are counted once. District groups use the exact MLS HighSchoolDistrict label, which is a research field and does not verify an address’s school assignment.
Prices and asking dollars per square foot are active-listing medians, not sale prices or a value estimate for a specific home. Home age is 2026 minus the reported year built. Days to offer is the MLS daysOnMarket field among the closed cohort; soldDate is not used as a closing date. Each metric excludes its own missing or invalid values; zero days is retained. Dollar figures are rounded to the nearest dollar.
| District | Metric | Valid records | Omitted values |
|---|---|---|---|
| Houston ISD | List price | 6,872 | 0 |
| Houston ISD | Asking $/sq ft | 6,834 | 38 |
| Houston ISD | Home age | 6,775 | 97 |
| Houston ISD | Days to offer | 3,153 | 96 |
Published accountability data
Houston ISD: 2026 TEA rating
The Texas Education Agency’s 2026 Accountability Rating Overall Summary, updated September 2026, reports B with an overall score of 85. Read the official TEA district report.
The overall result is a district measure. It is not a ranking of neighborhoods or a guarantee about the campus assigned to a home. Use the campus report and the district’s program information for your own comparison.
TEA district 101912 · Checked October 1, 2026
Four checks before an offer
- Look up the exact address. Use the district’s tool, including unit number when applicable. A city, ZIP code or subdivision name is not enough.
- Check the grade and school year. Read approved boundary changes and ask the district about a new street or unfinished subdivision that is missing from the locator.
- Confirm the assignment with the district. Keep the response with your home-search notes. Check enrollment documents, program eligibility and transportation separately.
- Compare the individual campus. Review its current TEA report, course offerings and programs that matter to you. A district-wide grade does not describe every campus.
Put the home and the school lookup together
Start with the home’s price, layout, commute and ownership costs. Cross-check each shortlisted address with the official locator. Eddie Weir can help organize the home search and questions for the district without treating a listing’s school label as a promise.
