Dayton Independent School District is a public school district based in Dayton, Texas (USA).
The district serves the cities of Dayton, Dayton Lakes, Kenefick, and some unincorporated areas including Eastgate, Stilson, and the northern half of Old River-Winfree. A very small portion of the district lies in neighboring Harris County. The district stretches 263 miles square, one of the largest school districts by area in the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugarland, TX Metropolitan Area.
In 2009, the school district was rated "academically unacceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.[1] In 2022, it received a "C" rating with a composite score of 72. It went unrated in two of the categories ratable by the TEA due to its low scores in academic growth and closing the gaps in student performance.[2]
Former Dayton ISD trustee John Otto held the District 18 seat in the Texas House of Representatives from 2005 to 2016, which encompasses Liberty, San Jacinto, and Walker counties.
