Pasadena Independent School District is a school district that is based in Pasadena, Texas, United States. Pasadena ISD serves much of southeast Harris County. The district includes most of Pasadena, South Houston, a portion of Houston (including Genoa), and a portion of Pearland. Each Pasadena ISD house or residential area is assigned to an elementary school (PK-4th), a middle school (5th-6th), an intermediate school (7th-8th), and a high school (9th-12th). Some areas are assigned to fifth grade centers. In 2019, the school district received a "B" grade from the Texas Education Agency's Accountability Ratings Report.

History

It was established on March 26, 1898. According to a report around November 2, 2004 by the Texas Education Agency, among the 30 largest school districts in the state, Pasadena ISD was the 8th fastest-growing district in Texas by population; much of the growth occurred in the "South Belt" area along Beltway 8. The district was named the National Model School District in 2005 by the International Center for Leadership in Education. In 2011 voters approved of a new bond which allowed Pasadena ISD to complete building grade 5-6 middle school facilities for all of the district.

School uniforms

All students in Pasadena ISD are required to follow a specific dress code. As of the 2016-2017 school year, students are free to wear any type of appropriate shirt or dress. Students are required to wear khaki or navy blue slacks or khaki or blue denim trousers. Skirts and jumpers are also allowed as long as they are in the same styles as the slacks. The Texas Education Agency specified that the parents and/or guardians of students zoned to a school with uniforms may apply for a waiver to opt out of the uniform policy so their children do not have to wear the uniform; parents must specify "
