West Avenue transformed into Pre-K Academy

On October 8, 2018, the North East ISD Board of Trustees approved a transition of West Avenue Elementary School into the North East ISD Pre-Kindergarten Academy at West Avenue beginning in the 2019-2020 school year. This has been a difficult decision that NEISD staff recommended after a lengthy review and discussion, including a community meeting held on October 2.

West Avenue was one of the District’s smallest schools with no forecasts for enrollment growth. At the same time, the District had seen an increase in demand for full-day pre-kindergarten. Research shows that early intervention with children has a significant impact on their future success in academics. The new Pre-K Academy offers an enhanced academic curriculum to include after-school care.

 Beginning with the 2019-2020 school year, West Avenue students were relocated to neighboring elementary schools Dellview and Olmos.
