High Island Independent School District is a public school district based in unincorporated Galveston County, Texas, United States.

HIISD serves the communities of Caplen, High Island, and Gilchrist on the Bolivar Peninsula.

History[edit]

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.[1] Crenshaw was rebuilt as a single campus in 2005.[2]

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.[3]

Academic achievement[edit]

In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.[4]

"The existing school — made up of two campuses about a half-mile apart — have been a sore spot for many residents who felt the district was shortchanging the peninsula. The peninsula generates about $3 million revenue from local property taxes and state contributions to the district. Some residents responded through the years by sending their kids to the neighboring High Island Independent School District."
