Denison Independent School District

Denison ISD was named to the prestigious “Top 10 Best School Districts in Texas” list by Education Resources Group, a respected research firm in Houston.
Denison schools consistently score above the state average on standardized tests in virtually all areas, often by as much as 20 percentage points.
Newsweek has repeatedly ranked Denison High School in the top 4% of high-performing schools in the nation.
A recent $80,000,000 bond has been used to make extensive renovations to existing elementary schools, intermediate and middle schools, and build a new high school campus.
A 2019 bond election for $20.8 million adds 20 new classrooms, increased cafeteria space, and enlarged pick-up and drop-off areas for two elementary schools with the highest enrollment growth.
