"We didn't select NISD, but we "inherited" it upon moving into my parent's house. We came from Dallas ISD and are really quite happy with NISD as a whole. We have three children in the school district at this time. I am so pleased that a strong academic district would have academies to let the children get ahead in their interests and even dreams."
