The specifics
The district currently operates 51 schools, including 37 elementary schools, according to information on the district’s website. The 2024-25 school year is the first after the district’s board of trustees voted to consolidate four elementary school campuses last March.
As of October 2023, the district’s attendance was 37,085 students. District estimates project the population within the boundaries—which include Richardson and parts of Dallas and Garland—at 125,000 as of the October 2023 datapoint.
