LIST OF HOUSTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOLS

This is a list of schools operated by the Houston Independent School District.
In the district, grades kindergarten through 5 are considered to be elementary school, grades 6 through 8 are considered to be middle school, and grades 9 through 12 are considered to be high school. Some elementary schools go up to the sixth grade.
