Tyler Independent School District is an independent school district based in Tyler, Texas (USA).

In addition to serving most of Tyler, the district serves the city of Noonday and rural areas in west central Smith County. Notable alumni include Earl Campbell (Tyler High) and Sandy Duncan (Tyler Legacy High).

In 2019, the school district was rated as a "B" by the Texas Education Agency.^[2]

History

Like other Texas school districts, Tyler ISD formerly separated children into different schools on the basis of race. The district established a plan to racially integrate; the board of trustees approved such a plan in 1965, eleven years after the Supreme Court's landmark ruling in Brown v. Board of Education.^[3] The district was not fully integrated until July 1970, after a federal court ordered immediate integration.^[4]

Demographics

Leadership
