CISD STEM Academy @ River District is currently accepting applications from fifth grade students. The district launched the STEM Academy at the start of the 2021-2022 school year as the class of 2028 entered middle school. With the addition of another class of sixth graders for the 2023-2024 school year, the middle school academy will be complete and serving all three grade levels.
The Academy model will promote a rigorous educational opportunity with a focus on Advanced Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Upon graduation, STEM Academy students will have developed advanced academic and job skills that will prepare them for any college, a career, or military service. Students will have the opportunity to earn up to 56 college credits through the STEM Academy coursework.
Any student currently enrolled in fifth grade at Castleberry ISD or an out of district student who plans to apply for an out of district transfer to Castleberry ISD for the 2023-2024 school year is eligible to apply to the admissions-based CISD STEM Academy @ River District.
