Circa 2003 some Bolivar Peninsula residents in the Galveston Independent School District (GISD) portion who were dissatisfied with the Crenshaw School, the then-two-campus GISD K-8 school on the peninsula, sent their children to High Island schools. [2] Crenshaw was rebuilt as a single campus in 2005. [3]
The school district lost approximately 15% of its students in 2008 due to homes and residences destroyed by Hurricane Ike In the fall of 2009, the district reported an enrollment of 186 students. [4]
In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency. [5]
