About LONGVIEW ISD

Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.

The Longview Independent School District is the largest and most comprehensive school district in the greater Longview area. Having over 8,400 students, our district mirrors the rich diversity of the East Texas community and culture. Longview High School houses grades 9-12 in a complex built on approximately 80 acres off Loop 281. It provides state-of-the-art facilities and offers 148 different courses including many Advanced Placement offerings. National Merit Scholars, an award winning band, and one of the top overall athletic programs in the state all come from Longview High School. Recently LHS was awarded a Texas Science, Technology, Engineering and Math grant from the Texas Education Agency and the Michael Dell Foundation. This grant will allow LISD to launch Longview Global High School in 2008. In addition, LHS is now offering dual credit courses through Kilgore College, as well as online math courses for students. An International Baccalaureate program is in the process of being implemented and will make LISD one of the only districts in the state to have an IB program offered at every grade level. LISD offers many special programs including four elementary magnet schools with a planned enrichment program, and a magnet school of global studies for grades 6-8. The Longview ISD has been recognized by SchoolMatch, a full-service education consulting and research firm, and has received the prestigious "What Parents Want in Schools" award from this firm. Only 15% of the schools in the nation have received this award.
