Where Am I Zoned for High School & Middle School?
The Argyle ISD School Board approved the Middle School & High School Zoning at the December regular School Board meeting. The approved zoning recommendation was amended to include the Bonnie Brae Rd. & the Vintage Blvd. areas (both located in the far northern part of the district).
These areas will now be part of the US 377 East zone for both middle and high schools. The new zoning changes will begin for middle schools in the fall of 2026. For high schools, the changes will start a year later, in the fall of 2027. Argyle ISD will post a finalized zoning map on the district website in the coming days.
