Forney ISD, according to a 2005 article in The Dallas Morning News , is the fourth-fastest growing school district in Texas. A new middle school was opened in the 2006-2007 school year, and remodeling of the old middle school was underway.
After a bond issue for a second high school repeatedly failed in previous years, funds for a new high school were approved in May 2007. The current high school, originally intended to serve as a middle school, has a population that outgrows the building despite recent wing additions.
All Forney ISD students are required to wear school uniforms..
The TEA specified that the parents and/or guardians of students zoned to a school with uniforms may apply for a waiver to opt out of the uniform policy so their children do not have to wear the uniform; parents must specify bona fide reasons, such as religious reasons or philosophical objections. Forney ISD devised a procedure to verify the parents' reasons for requesting exemptions to the uniform policy
In 2022 the district announced that hooded clothing would be no longer allowed. [2] Additionally, the district at that time began only allowing students in grades 4 and below to wear: [3] skirts, skorts, and dresses. [2] An online petition was made that protested the dress code change. [4]
