About GALVESTON ISD
Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.
The City of Galveston governed Galveston Schools until 1949 when the Texas Legislature established the Galveston Independent School District (“GISD”). GISD is located in Galveston County and covers 94.82 square miles, including all of Galveston and a portion of the Bolivar Peninsula. The School District is fully accredited by the Texas Education Agency, and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools also accredits Ball High School.
