Dayton Independent School District


Dayton Independent School District is a public school district based in Dayton, Texas.
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.
In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.
Former Dayton ISD trustee John Otto has since 2005 held the District 18 seat in the Texas House of Representatives, which encompasses Liberty, San Jacinto, and Walker counties.

Grades K-5

While Dayton ISD used to offer education for 6th graders at Nottingham Middle School, Woodrow Wilson Junior High now educates those students and the Nottingham campus has become the Alternative Education Center. Dayton ISD offers a night school program and education for children with disciplinary problems or a variety of other issues which may require a different style of learning environment from the district's other schools.
