The district is the second-largest public school district in the state, and the 14th-largest district in the nation. We are proud of our award-winning schools, outstanding teachers and staff, hard-working students and committed parents and volunteers. The school district serves approximately 160,000 students in pre-kindergarten through the 12th grade, in 227 schools, employing nearly 20,000 dedicated professionals. Dallas ISD has seen continual gains in student achievement, and strives to help ensure the success of every student. Upon graduation, more district graduates are college and career ready, primed to be productive, contributing members to the community. Voters approved a $1.35 billion construction program in 2008 that has upgraded, renovated and expanded many existing facilities as well as built new schools. The goal is to provide more effective learning environments that are safe, welcoming and energy-efficient. Thank you for your interest in Dallas ISD.
