There are many school districts serving the city of Houston, the largest of which, the Houston Independent School District, serves a large majority of the area within the city limits and the "island cities" of Bellaire, Southside Place, and West University Place.
A portion of west Houston falls under the Spring Branch and Alief independent school districts. Aldine and North Forest independent school districts take up a part of northeast Houston. Parts of Pasadena, Clear Creek, Galena Park, Katy, Fort Bend, Huffman, New Caney, Humble, Spring, and Cypress-Fairbanks independent school districts take students from the city limits of Houston.
