Description
Independent School District is made up of students, parents, teachers, administrators and support staff, all working together in the pursuit of achieving excellence in education. At the Laredo ISD, learning is the key to a bright and successful future. By setting high standards, the district plays a crucial role in preparing the students to meet the challenges and demands of today's high-tech, multicultural work place.
The Laredo Independent School District has come a long way since being established more than a century ago. From a single room schoolhouse, to a district sprawling more than 13.83 square miles, the district is rich in history and tradition. The district reflects the colorful heritage and unique culture that make Laredo, Texas, a city like no other.
The Laredo Independent School District is made up of 30 educational institutions: 21 elementary schools, four middle schools, three high schools, and two magnet schools. The two magnet schools are the Vidal M. Treviño School of Communications and Fine Arts and a Health and Science Magnet school. The Treviño Magnet School offers talented students instruction in the areas of communications, music, dance, visual arts, drama, and academics. It was the city's first magnet school. The newly built Health and Science Magnet School, located at Martin High School, was designed to provide a solid foundation and a rigorous curriculum to prepare students pursuing health careers. The F. S. Lara Academy is the district's alternative education school.
