History

The district opened in 1944. [4]

Prior to 2013 the district had contracts with the police forces of Clute, Freeport, and Lake Jackson to provide police services to the district. In 2013 the district decided to end the contracts and create a district police department. The yearly cost to maintain this department would be $32,000. [5]

Finances

As of the 2010-2011 school year, the appraised valuation of property in the district was $6,406,446,000. [2] The maintenance tax rate was $0.104 and the bond tax rate was $0.020 per $100 of appraised valuation. [2]

Academic achievement

In 2011, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency. [3] Forty-nine percent of districts in Texas in 2011 received the same rating. [6] No state accountability ratings will be given to districts in 2012. [7] A school district in Texas can receive one of four possible rankings from the Texas Education Agency: Exemplary (the highest possible ranking), Recognized, Academically Acceptable, and Academically Unacceptable (the lowest possible ranking).
