If you leave, or are removed, from an academy, you must go to the school you are zone for. The Academy’s and CTE courses offered in NISD will prepare you for college and career right out of high school. For acceptance into an academy, you are competing with 8th graders from 5 TOTAL middle schools. Grades and attendance are very important!!  The academies look at both of these during their consideration process.
