The Business of Pottsboro ISD

The City of Pottsboro, Preston Peninsula, Locust and Mill Creek areas all form what is known as the Pottsboro Independent School District. Located entirely in Grayson County, PISD is fully accredited by the Texas Education Agency and provides full instructional programs for children in grades K-12 and Head Start, and also provides for the individual student by offering special, gifted/talented programs and special education.

The Pottsboro School District has been rated a Recognized District by the Texas Education (TEA). The TEA assigns each school district and each campus in Texas an annual accountability rating based on test scores, attendance rates, and drop-out rates. The district receives an annual Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) Report, which reviews the district and campus progress in detail. This report is available for your review in the Central Office of the Pottsboro ISD and at each campus principal’s office.

Besides following state curriculum, PISD competes in University Interscholastic League (UIL)competitions, with meets beginning in the 2^nd grade. Students can participate in a wide variety of competitions from academic such as keyboarding or number sense to creative activities such as one-act play or band, to athletic, such as football, basketball or track. Pottsboro ISD is currently in District 14-2A. The High School offers dual credit courses with Grayson County College through the Distance Learning Lab located at the High School. Also, available are AP courses and the Texas Scholar Program.
