Buckholts Independent School District is a public school district based in Buckholts, Texas, United States. The district has one school that serves students in prekindergarten through grade 12.
Academic achievement
In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency (TEA).
Buckholts Independent School District (BISD) has encountered significant challenges concerning its accreditation status with the Texas Education Agency (TEA). In February 2018, the TEA revoked BISD's accreditation due to five consecutive years of failing to meet state standards. This revocation placed the district at risk of closure, as Texas public schools cannot operate without accreditation. However, BISD appealed the decision, and the TEA granted the district an abatement agreement, allowing it to continue operations for the 2018–2019 school year under the condition of demonstrating significant academic improvement.
Despite efforts to enhance academic performance, BISD continued to face scrutiny. In 2023, the Texas Supreme Court declined to hear the district's case, effectively upholding the TEA's decision to revoke accreditation. This development underscored the district's ongoing challenges in meeting state education standards. As of the latest available information, BISD remains operational, focusing on implementing measures to improve academic outcomes and regain full accreditation status.
