Welcome to Northside
Middle Schools
Welcome to Northside Independent School District,
where we pride ourselves on our outstanding
educators and our superior instructional and
extracurricular programs. Whether this will be your
first experience at a Northside middle school campus
or you are returning for another great school year,
we are excited about the opportunities available at
each of our Northside schools.
Northside is one of the largest and most diverse school districts in the state. We are the fourth
largest school district in Texas and the 24th largest school district in the United States. Despite our
size, we still maintain a cohesive, family-friendly atmosphere that places the utmost importance on
student success, community involvement, and fiscal responsibility.
Northside truly is San Antonio’s premier school district of choice and we will continue to maintain
our tradition of academic excellence for every student. Middle school course offerings are based on
student interest and alignment to high school program opportunities.
Questions or Need Help?
The process for students/parents to make course selections for the following school year typically
begins in early spring. Each middle school campus will communicate with both 5th grade parents (of
future 6th grade students) and to current 6th and 7th grade parents about their specific processes
and timelines.
For more information about registering for middle school classes or to learn about any of Northside’s
programs, feel free to contact the counseling department at any of our middle schools using the
contact information found on the next page in this catalog.

Gifted/Talented Program
Identified GT students may choose one GT content course each year in English Language Arts, Science or Social Studies.
Each year’s course selection is independent of the previous year. GT courses emphasize strategies such as depth and
complexity, creative problem solving, and critical thinking. These strategies are integrated throughout the curriculum in
order to foster leadership and maximize opportunities for independent thinking. GT students are expected to complete a
Middle School Innovative Project (MSIP) in the selected GT content course. The MSIP requires in-depth research on a
topic of choice aligned to the TEKS of the course. The MSIP will culminate in a presentation to the public over what the
student has learned through their course of study.
In addition to GT content courses, students may also select accelerated math courses in which both enrichment and
acceleration opportunities are available. Students may also choose to earn credit for high school courses (see pages 7-8
for more information).
Course selection is not guaranteed due to campus enrollment and staffing. Please give careful consideration to GT
content selection.

Advanced Academics
Advanced and Accelerated Courses
Northside offers many advanced courses to middle school students. Participation in advanced academic courses is a foundation of
college readiness. Students who participate in advanced coursework such as advanced, Advanced Placement (AP), and dual credit
classes are more likely to complete a bachelor’s degree in college and typically have higher grades in college.
Northside ISD recognizes the value of student participation in rigorous academic coursework and encourages students to graduate
from high school with at least one advanced academic course credit such as Advanced Placement. Our collective purpose is to ensure
student success in middle school advanced courses and provide opportunities for higher levels of learning in future grades.
Advanced courses are intended to develop students’ literacy, problem-solving skills, and analysis. These middle school classes are
designed to challenge students through rigorous instruction and complex learning tasks in order to prepare them for success in future
advanced classes, AP classes, dual credit classes, and college courses.
This chart summarizes the advanced academic course offerings for middle school students in Northside. These courses lay the
foundation for a variety of high school courses.
