Administration proposes rezoning sixth graders from Stephen F. Austin to Peter Parker school

In a recent meeting, the Brazosport Independent School District (BISD) Board discussed a significant change affecting local students. The administration recommended that sixth-grade students currently attending Stephen F. Austin Elementary School be rezoned to the nearby 3 Quarter Intermediate School. This decision aims to streamline the educational experience for students, as the intermediate school already serves sixth, seventh, and eighth graders.

The proposed rezoning aligns with the district's goal of providing a cohesive learning environment for middle school students. By moving sixth graders to the intermediate school, the district hopes to enhance educational continuity and better prepare students for their transition into higher grades.

Additionally, pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade students will continue to attend Stephen F. Austin Elementary School, ensuring that younger students remain in their established learning community. This decision reflects the district's commitment to maintaining stability for families while also adapting to the evolving needs of the student population.

As the district moves forward with this plan, it is expected to positively impact the educational landscape in the community, fostering a more integrated approach to middle school education. The board's decision highlights its focus on creating a supportive and effective learning environment for all students in the Brazosport area.
