The Houston Independent School District (HISD) is the largest public school system in Texas, and the eighth-largest in the United States.[3] Houston ISD serves as a community school district for most of the city of Houston and several nearby and insular municipalities in addition to some unincorporated areas. Like most districts in Texas, it is independent of the city of Houston and all other municipal and county jurisdictions. The district has its headquarters in the Hattie Mae White Educational Support Center in Houston.
In 2016, the school district was rated "met standards" by the Texas Education Agency.[4]
