About DALLAS ISD
Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.
The Dallas Independent School District is proud of its award-winning schools, its outstanding teachers and staff, hard-working students and committed parents and volunteers. We are the 14th largest school district in the nation with a diverse population of more than 157,000 students. Serving these students are more than 20,000 employees, making the Dallas ISD one of the largest employers in the city. Dallas ISD boasts several U.S. Blue Ribbon Schools, 30 Exemplary and 67 Recognized schools as determined by the Texas Education Agency and is steadily increasing its graduation rate. As a matter of fact, the number of students graduating from Dallas ISD is at its highest since the mid-1980s. Our schools are also receiving renovations made possible by a $1.35 billion bond program approved by voters that is also building 14 new schools. Vision: Dallas ISD seeks to be a premier urban school district.
