WebsiteSmithville ISD

Located in Bastrop County, in which it serves Smithville and Rosanky,[3] a small portion of the district extends into Fayette County.[4]

In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.[5]

Smithville ISD is in the service area of Austin Community College.[6]

History

During the 1969-1970 school year, Smithville ISD gave three black students to an all-African American school district, Jeddo Common School District, which meant that the Jeddo district continued to exist. Without the student transfer, it would not have received enough students to get funding for its teacher. A legal document in Texas cited this as a case of de facto segregation.[7]

In the 2012–2013 school year, the district had students in five schools.[1]

  • Smithville High School (Grades 9-12)
  • Smithville Junior High School (Grades 6-8)
  • Smithville Elementary School (Grades (3-5)
