Ingram Independent School District is a public school district based in Ingram, Texas, United States. The first school building opened in 1936. Ingram ISD has grown into a three campus district providing education for the citizens of Ingram (and the surrounding communities), population of approximately 1,870. [2]
Ingram's Secondary campus accommodates Ingram residents as well as middle and high school-aged residents from Divide Independent School District, [3] and Hunt Independent School District.[ citation needed ]
Ingram ISD, with an open transfer policy, accepts requests from students all over the Texas hill-country without an attendance fee. The transfer rate, from neighboring school districts, has steadily grown since the 2012-2013 school year, from 9% to 15% due to the numerous changes implemented with the support of the district administrators, school board members, and campus staff. The secondary campus added a layer of complexity to their robust curriculum schedule (offerings of AP, Dual Credit, and OnRamps courses) by implementing the AVID program, as part of the early college transition over the next few years. The select middle school and high school campus staff attended a rigorous training in the summer of 2019 to ensure AVID was implemented with fidelity. AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination, meant to provide students with the strategies and skills for college and career readiness.[ citation needed ]
In Fall of 2019, it was announced that Ingram ISD achieved a well-deserved "A" report card ranking with an overall accountability grade of a 90 (as reported by the Texas Education Agency). [4] [ failed verification ]

School Safety“ATTENTION. Please be aware that staff members at Ingram ISD are armed and may use whatever force is necessary to protect our students.” as reported by Sue Calberg of Kens 5 News on September 5, 2018. [6] Starting the 2018-2019 school year, Ingram ISD posted the above signage, after district members invested summer time in specialized training that includes law, first aid, and crisis intervention. The district marshals were approved by the board to ensure student safety due to the increasing number of school tragedies that have occurred over the past years. Dr. Templeton and board members wanted to add an extra layer of protection, knowing one can never been too cautious when it comes to the safety of the district's children. Weapons are not visible and everything is concealed. The identities of the school marshals are unknown to the public, allowing them to serve our students in times of crisis. The community has commented on public social media forums with positive support of the district's program. The only visible changes are the signs posted at the entrance of both the elementary and secondary campus. During the 2019-2020 school year, the district implemented mandatory district staff training for Standard Response Protocol k-12 [7] and Stop The Bleed. [8] The district administration and local emergency responders have collaborated to organize a reunification protocol, in case of an emergency that would require evacuation of the campus. Ingram ISD will continue efforts to prepare and train staff and students for possible scenarios that could occur. Schools
