Killeen Independent School District

The 39,000-plus students who attend Killeen Independent School District schools are a part of the 24th largest school district in the state of Texas.

Yet, every effort is made to see that each student gets plenty of individual attention.

The school district, which covers 400 square miles, serves the communities of Killeen, Harker Heights, Nolanville, Fort Hood and the surrounding rural areas.

KISD's students attend 31 elementary schools, 12 middle schools, four high schools and four special campuses.

With a staff of 4,600, KISD is the second largest employer in the Killeen area, second only to Fort Hood. The district, accredited by the Texas Education Agency, has 25 special programs, ranging from Bilingual/English as a second language to Talented and Gifted and Athletics, running the gamut of sports for both boys and girls.

Transportation is provided free for students who live two or more miles from their assigned school or in a hazardous area, and special education students are transported from their homes regardless of distance from school.
