Cleveland Independent School District is a public school district based in Cleveland, Texas (USA).

Contents

Within Liberty County, in addition to the majority of Cleveland in that county, the district serves the cities of North Cleveland and Plum Grove, [2] as well as the Colony Ridge development. [3] It also includes portions of Montgomery County, including some sections of Cleveland in that county, [4] and San Jacinto County. [5]

In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency. [6]

History

From circa 2020 to 2023, the size of the student body increased by around 200%. [7]

In 2023 the Associated Press reported that as Colony Ridge expanded, the district faced capacity issues and that it "has struggled to create enough space." [3] The district, by then, purchased multiple temporary educational buildings totaling $12,000,000. Superintendent Stephen McCanless stated that the development company behind Colony Ridge stated that the student body would increase on a monthly basis by 150. [7]

Demographics

In 2023 85% of the students were Hispanic or Latino Americans. As of that year, about 1,400 of the 11,800 students were born in El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, and other countries, while the remainder were born in the United States. [7]
