In order to continue to promote engagement, creativity, critical thinking and achievement as a part of the district’s Achieve Today. Excel Tomorrow. strategic plan, the Arlington ISD opened two fine arts and dual language academies this fall. As part of the 2014 Bond package, the district is repurposing Corey and Roquemore elementaries for these academies. A limited number of openings have become available in the academies, so applications have been reopened.

The boundary map for the two academies splits the district in half along Pioneer Parkway/Spur 303. All Arlington ISD addresses north of Pioneer Parkway/Spur 303 are zoned to attend Jones Academy at Roquemore, and all AISD addresses south of Pioneer Parkway/Spur 303 are zoned to attend the Corey Academy.

Applications for these limited kindergarten spaces at the fine arts and dual language academies are now available and must be submitted by 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6.
