Stone Oak & North San Antonio High Schools (NEISD)

Stone Oak & North San Antonio High Schools (NEISD)

Ok…so, we have recently discussed the Stone Oak & North San Antonio Elementary Schools (NEISD) and the Stone Oak & North San Antonio Middle Schools.  We found that all 10 of the NEISD Elementary Schools and all 3 of the NEISD Middle Schools in the Stone Oak area are Exemplary Rated. 

“When it comes to choosing a community to live in, the quality of schools can be big deciding factor.  We have discussed a lot of great reasons to call the Stone Oak & North San Antonio area home & excellent schools is definitley one of those reasons.

The Stone Oak area & much of North San Antonio is served by the highly acclaimed North East Independant School District (NEISD), which features the highest rated schools in the city.”

Now let’s see how the High Schools stand up.  Currently there are 20 High Schools in the NEISD.  Two of these High Schools are located in the Stone Oak area.  And, yep…both of them are Exemplary Rated as well!

*All School Boundary Maps show approximate school boundaries, which are subject to change in the future. Before making decisions based on these maps, please contact Community Relations at the specific campus to find out if the campus serves the community & home that you are interested in. 

Again, nearly every time I discuss community choices with people looking for a home in San Antonio (whether relocating to San Antonio or moving within the city), the concern of schools comes up.  Even if schools are not a direct need, they schould always be considered for re-sale purposes.  When this topic comes up, I never hesitate to recommend The Stone Oak & North San Antonio area.  I think it is pretty safe to say that “the proof is in the pudding…”   The Stone Oak & North San Antonio area definitely offers a great choice of excellent Elementary, Middle Schools & High Schools!
