About Conroe ISD
Conroe Independent School District is a large public school system based in Conroe, Texas, serving most of Montgomery County north of Houston. As of the 2023–24 school year, the district enrolls approximately 72,400 students across 71 campuses, making it the seventh-largest school district in Texas and 49th in the United States. Its service area covers 348 square miles, including the city of Conroe, much of The Woodlands, Oak Ridge North, Shenandoah, and surrounding unincorporated communities.
Conroe ISD has one of the oldest continuous histories of any district in the region. Its first school, a one-room building known as the Conroe Mill School, opened in 1886. The district was formally organized by order of Montgomery County on July 12, 1892. A school for African American students, Booker T. Washington High School, opened in 1954, and the district’s campuses were fully desegregated between 1968 and 1969. For the 2022–23 school year, the Texas Education Agency awarded Conroe ISD a score of 84 out of 100.
Books in Schools
Conroe ISD operates six comprehensive high school feeder zones, anchored by Conroe High School, Oak Ridge High School, Caney Creek High School, The Woodlands High School, The Woodlands College Park High School, and Grand Oaks High School. The district has seen over 100 titles challenged, removed, or restricted in recent years, in line with broader Southwest Texas trends driven by state-level policy and organized parent advocacy campaigns targeting books on race, sexuality, and identity.
