Why Choose Public Education?

The Value of a Public Education in Independent School Districts (ISDs)

From PreK through graduation, public schools within an ISD, offer academic and extracurricular programs that contribute to a student’s development.

Firstly, public schools emphasize leadership and character development through various programs and partnerships.

Secondly, Gifted and Talented programs, dual credit, and AP courses offer advanced academics to challenge and prepare students for college.

Thirdly, Special Education services, free developmental testing, and qualified educators for special needs students are offered to families.

And finally, community support surrounds neighborhood schools through sports, arts, and family engagement. The future of our workforce and society rely on an educated population. Texas public schools serve the student, family, and community.
