Van Alstyne Independent School District will operate six mainstream campuses during the 2026-27 academic year following the opening of a new elementary school. The district, located in southern Grayson County along U.S. 75, is classified as a 4A public district by the University Interscholastic League. It serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
The new facility is named Charles and Beth Williams Elementary. The district board approved updated elementary attendance zones to accommodate the addition of this third elementary campus. Existing schools include Partin Elementary, which serves grades K-4, and Sanford Elementary, which serves pre-kindergarten through fourth grade.
Middle school students attend Van Alstyne Middle School for grades 5 and 6, while Van Alstyne Junior High serves grades 7 and 8. Van Alstyne High School covers grades 9 through 12.
Enrollment figures vary depending on the data source and year. The district’s official description cites approximately 2,650 students. However, third-party aggregators using Texas Education Association data report about 2,857 students for the 2025-26 school year. This represents an increase of 245 students, or 9.4 percent, compared to the 2024-25 academic year. The same data indicates a roughly 40 percent growth since the 2021-22 school year.
