What is NES?

The New Education System (NES) is Houston ISD’s comprehensive plan to transform public education—starting with the schools that need it most. NES is designed to deliver a high-quality education to every student and to prove what’s possible when high expectations for educators, staff, and students are paired with strong support.

NES schools follow a proven, research-based model that introduces a clear instructional vision, innovative staffing, rigorous accountability, and expanded academic opportunities.

HISD invests heavily in the professional development of educators, and NES implements instructional practices that create consistent, engaging, and effective learning environments for all students.
