Five Corners District
Five Corners District is a management district covering sections of southern and Southwest Houston, Texas, United States.
History
The Texas Legislature created the district in 2007.[1] A business owner named Mehdi Banijamali stated that 25 property owners had signed to have the district created even though there were 1,400 property owners in its boundaries.[2]
On one occasion a group of business owners sued the district, and a settlement ended that suit; as part of the settlement the business owners no longer had their properties assessed.[3] Another suit was filed in 2012 with another group of business owners accusing the district organizers of deliberately excluding some businesses from the district.[2]

Government and infrastructure
The current Houston Police Department Southwest Patrol Division Station is located in Cambridge Village Park, within the Five Corners district.[5] The beginning of the construction was scheduled for February or March 2016 while the end of construction was scheduled for June–July 2017. It replaced a previous station inside the 610 Loop.[6] It has a total of 55,000 square feet (5,100 m2) of space,[5] including a 2,300-square-foot (210 m2) community room.[6] The cost was $21 million.[5]
Education
Residents are in the Houston Independent School District.[7] Zoned middle schools serving sections of Five Corners include Attucks in Sunnyside,[8] Lawson (formerly Dowling) in Hiram Clarke,[9] Billy Reagan K-8,[10] Thomas,[11] and Welch in Fondren Southwest.[12] Zoned high schools serving sections of Five Corners include Madison High School and Worthing High School.[13][14]
In 2019 Susie Tommaney, a contributing writer to the Houston Press, stated "Report cards from area schools are mixed" and that there were "Decent schools, including the area high school".[4]
St. Nicholas School (K-8) is an Anglican school. It will later occupy a new development on a 47-acre (19 ha) property along South Main Street.[15][16]
The private school The Imani School is in Five Corners.[17]
