Dallas ISD opened the 2026-27 school year with 128,927 students. That figure comes from the district’s own public data portal and reflects an early September count. A year ago the state recorded 134,308 students in the district.

The seven campuses in the Seagoville High School feeder pattern enrolled 6,099 students in that same early September count. Those campuses enrolled 6,251 students under the state’s official count for last year. Seagoville lost students as well. It simply lost fewer of them.

Two Different Rates of Decline

The district figure represents a drop of about 4.0 percent from the state count. The Seagoville feeder figure represents a drop of about 2.4 percent. That gap of roughly 1.6 percentage points is the real story in these numbers.

The share tells the same story from another angle. Seagoville campuses accounted for about 4.65 percent of district enrollment last year. This fall they account for about 4.73 percent.

How the Numbers Break Down

Seagoville High School enrolled 1,589 students. Seagoville Middle School enrolled 996. Among the elementary campuses Seagoville North led with 814 students, followed by Kleberg with 759 and Seagoville Elementary with 685.

Ebby Halliday Elementary enrolled 637 students. Central Elementary enrolled 619. Together those five elementary campuses carry more than half the feeder pattern.

Why Campus Comparisons Can Mislead

Three feeder elementaries now serve sixth grade. Kleberg has 95 sixth graders. Seagoville Elementary has 66 and Ebby Halliday has 76.

Seagoville Middle School enrolls 208 sixth graders. That is far below its 391 seventh graders and its 397 eighth graders. Comparing any single campus to last year without accounting for that split will produce a misleading result.

The feeder total avoids the problem entirely. Students moved between campuses inside the pattern. They did not leave it.

A Town Growing Faster Than Its Schools

Seagoville recorded 18,446 residents in the 2020 census. The city’s fiscal year 2026 proposed budget describes a population above 20,000 and points to steady residential and commercial growth. Rooftops have continued to go up along the U.S. Highway 175 corridor.

That growth helps explain why the feeder is holding up better than the district as a whole. It does not translate into rising enrollment. It appears to be offsetting losses rather than creating gains.

What the Youngest Grades Suggest

The five feeder elementaries enrolled 425 kindergartners this fall. Those same campuses enrolled 496 fifth graders. The class entering the system is smaller than the class leaving elementary school.

That pattern shows up statewide and tracks with falling birth rates. It also caps how much local housing growth can lift enrollment in the near term. New homes bring families of all ages, not just families with young children.

The District’s Response

Dallas ISD made prekindergarten free this year for children ages three and four regardless of family income. District leaders have said the change is meant in part to draw enrollment back. The district also began a new student identification badge system this fall.

Voters approved a $6.2 billion bond package on May 2, 2026. Enrollment trends drive how districts plan and prioritize facility spending. The Seagoville feeder’s relative stability will factor into that math.

What to Watch

The state’s official count for this year will be taken later in the fall. Enrollment normally climbs between early September and that snapshot. Both the district figure and the Seagoville figure should rise before the state locks in a number.

The question is whether the gap between the two holds. A Seagoville feeder that keeps shrinking more slowly than the district is a different community story than one that starts growing. So far the data supports the first description and not the second.

Menus are subject to change as supply shortages continue across the country, which has caused some items to be unavailable and resulted in last minute substitutions. All meals served at Dallas ISD campuses are free for every student.

This week’s roundup adds Ebby Halliday Elementary alongside the usual Seagoville campuses, since Halliday feeds into the Seagoville High School attendance zone. Families sometimes assume every school serves the same meals each day, but that is not the case. Each campus publishes its own breakfast and lunch lineup, and while there is real overlap on some days, the entrée choices and side items are frequently different from one campus to the next. Below is a full side by side comparison for the week of Monday, August 17 through Friday, August 21. Pre K menus are not included below.

A Few Patterns Worth Noting

Central Elementary and Kleberg Elementary run an almost identical breakfast and lunch rotation all five days this week, right down to the fruit selections, while Seagoville Elementary and Ebby Halliday Elementary trail closely behind with only small differences in extra sides. Seagoville North Elementary tends to trim the entrée list slightly compared to the other elementary campuses on several days, most noticeably Monday and Wednesday.

Seagoville Middle School and Seagoville High School continue to offer longer entrée lists than the elementary campuses each day, and both secondary campuses share signature items such as Cheezy Hotz Chunks, Cheesy Twiz Stik, and Pepperoni Pizza that rarely appear on the elementary menus. Seagoville High School also runs its own daily breakfast specials rotation, with items like Buttery Maple Belgian Waffle and Short Stack Plate that do not show up anywhere else in the district this week.

Friday brings the closest alignment of the week, with Pepperoni Pizza Pocket and Chipotle Chicken Wrap appearing on every single campus menu, elementary through high school.

Because menus can shift on short notice due to ongoing supply issues, families are encouraged to check the Meal Viewer app for their specific school rather than relying on a neighboring campus’s menu.

Los menús están sujetos a cambios ya que la escasez de suministros continúa en todo el país, lo cual ha causado que algunos artículos no estén disponibles y ha resultado en sustituciones de último momento. Todas las comidas que se sirven en los planteles de Dallas ISD son gratuitas para cada estudiante. El menú más actualizado para cualquier plantel y día siempre está disponible a través de la aplicación Meal Viewer.

Esta semana el resumen agrega a Ebby Halliday Elementary junto con los planteles habituales de Seagoville, ya que Halliday alimenta a la zona escolar de Seagoville High School. Las familias a veces suponen que cada escuela sirve las mismas comidas todos los días, pero ese no es el caso. Cada plantel publica su propia selección de desayuno y almuerzo, y aunque hay coincidencias reales en algunos días, las opciones de plato principal y los acompañamientos con frecuencia son diferentes de un plantel a otro. A continuación está la comparación completa lado a lado para la semana del lunes 17 al viernes 21 de agosto. Los menús de Pre K no están incluidos abajo.

Algunos Patrones que Vale la Pena Notar

Central Elementary y Kleberg Elementary siguen una rotación de desayuno y almuerzo casi idéntica los cinco días de esta semana, incluyendo hasta las selecciones de fruta, mientras que Seagoville Elementary y Ebby Halliday Elementary les siguen de cerca con solo pequeñas diferencias en los acompañamientos. Seagoville North Elementary tiende a reducir un poco la lista de platos principales en comparación con los demás planteles de primaria en varios días, algo que se nota más el lunes y el miércoles.

Seagoville Middle School y Seagoville High School continúan ofreciendo listas de platos principales más largas que las primarias cada día, y ambos planteles secundarios comparten artículos característicos como Trozos Cheezy Hotz, Twiz Stik de Queso y Pizza de Pepperoni que rara vez aparecen en los menús de primaria. Seagoville High School también maneja su propia rotación diaria de especiales de desayuno, con artículos como el Waffle Belga de Mantequilla y Maple y el Plato Short Stack que no aparecen en ningún otro lugar del distrito esta semana.

El viernes trae la mayor coincidencia de la semana, con el Bolsillo de Pizza de Pepperoni y el Wrap de Pollo Chipotle apareciendo en el menú de cada plantel, desde primaria hasta preparatoria.

Debido a que los menús pueden cambiar sin previo aviso por la escasez de suministros que continúa, se invita a las familias a revisar la aplicación Meal Viewer para su plantel específico en lugar de guiarse por el menú de un plantel vecino.
