Educational excellence is the primary objective for Kingsville Independent School District. The school district is divided into three clusters at the primary level (PK-1) and two zones at the elementary level (2-4). Secondary campuses consist of one intermediate school (5-6), one middle school (7-8) and one high school.
In 1994, several school districts joined together in a bold new concept for high school education. Serving in partnership with Texas A&M University at Kingsville, they established Academy High for students in grades 9-12 from several South Texas communities. This school offers a year-round, self-paced curriculum... a non-traditional approach that offers students a program tailored to meet individual skills.
Four private schools are available in the area: Epiphany Episcopal School which serves Pre-K to 5th grade (361) 592-2871; First United Methodist School which served Pre-K to 1st grade (361) 592-4653; St. Gertrude Catholic School which serves K to 5th grade (361) 592-6522; and Presbyterian Pan American which serves 9th to12th grade (361) 592-4307.
