Conroe Independent School District

As the district grows, schools are struggling to keep up with demand. Administrators have taken measures such as adding portable buildings and recruiting more teachers in order to manage this surge of growth.

CISD takes pride in its diversity-related programs. Examples of such include Bilingual/ESL and GT/Advanced Academic programs which help students excel.
