Divide Independent School District is a public school district based in the community of Mountain Home in western Kerr County, Texas, United States.[1]
In terms of students served, Divide ISD is the smallest district in Texas; the 2015 "graduation/promotion ceremony" featured a mere 11 students and the district had as few as eight students at the beginning of the 2014–2015 school year.[2] Divide ISD serves much of western Kerr County. Divide ISD is one of the few remaining schools called "one room schoolhouses" in the United States.[3] Technically it is not a one-room schoolhouse according to a Texas Monthly article by Katy Vine, as the original school building – still in use – does not hold the pre-Kindergarten classes. In the original building there are two classrooms since the district divided the original single room into two.[2]
Divide Independent School District consists of one school: Divide Elementary School, serving grades pre-Kindergarten through six. Students attend middle and high school in the neighboring Ingram Independent School District.[4]
In 2007 it was rated "exemplary" by the Texas Education Agency. Katherine Leal Unmuth of The Dallas Morning News stated that year that, because Divide ISD had such a small student body, it could more easily get an exemplary rating under TEA rules at the time compared to larger districts; due to differing demographics, Divide ISD could gain exemplary ratings by succeeding in three of 36 different tasks.[5]
