Santa Fe Independent School District (SFISD) is a public school district based in Santa Fe, Texas (USA) in the Houston metropolitan area. In addition to Santa Fe, the district serves parts of League City, La Marque, Hitchcock, and Dickinson.[1]
In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.[2]
The district was a petitioner of the United States Supreme Court case Santa Fe Independent School Dist. v. Doe, which held that student-led, student-initiated prayeratfootball games violates the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution.
In 2018, 10 people were killed in the Santa Fe High School shooting.
From the 2017-2018 to the 2018-2019 school years, the enrollment declined by 200 students, with about 100 fewer students at the high school. The shooting and Hurricane Harvey were both factors in the decline.[3]
Kindergarten through fifth grade runs from 8:15 am to 3:45 pm. Grades six through twelve start school at 7:30 am and get out at 3:05 pm. During the 2010-2011 school year, every Thursday the high school would begin classes at 9:10 and get out at the same time, 2:30, with an adjusted schedule on that day.
At the beginning of the 2008 school year, SFISD lifted the dress code for all schools, yet there are still strict guidelines on what the students can wear.
During Hurricane Ike RJW's roof collapsed, displacing students.[5] Kindergarten students held classes at ECE, and 1st graders at the Junior High. The kindergarten and first graders rode home with the second, third, and fourth graders.
