Original Research by School Decision on Homebound
Homebound, an alternative school in Haltom City serving middle grades, is no longer operational. As an inactive entity, it does not currently enroll students or offer programming.
The school was located on East Belknap Street in Haltom City, an inner suburb of Fort Worth within the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and part of the Birdville Independent School District. Haltom City itself is a car-oriented, working-class community with a practical character shaped by manufacturing, distribution, and logistics operations alongside residential neighborhoods. The city is in an active growth and redevelopment phase, anchored by major mixed-use projects and multifamily housing development, though transit options remain limited.
Because Homebound is inactive, no current enrollment data, academic performance results, or student demographic information is available. The school's closure means families in the Birdville ISD area no longer have access to this alternative middle-grades option and would need to consider other district programs or schools for students requiring alternative placements.
For context on the broader district: Birdville ISD serves Haltom City and surrounding areas and has undergone significant change in recent years. In 2022, voters approved a substantial bond for campus rebuilds, renovations, and technology upgrades, and the district has been reducing its property tax rate while paying down existing debt. The district consolidated two small elementary schools, Smith and W.T. Francisco, into a rebuilt partner campus in Haltom City. In 2024, voters rejected a proposal for multipurpose indoor athletic facilities at the district's three traditional high schools.
For families seeking middle-grade alternative education options in this area, Birdville ISD or neighboring districts' current offerings would be the relevant alternatives to explore directly with the district.
