Atlanta Independent School District
Atlanta Independent School District is a public school district based in Atlanta, Texas (USA). In addition to the majority of Atlanta, the district also serves the town of Douglassville and the census-designated place of Bivins. The district operates one high school, Atlanta High School. History

In the wake of the Civil Rights Movement in the 20th century, the district had a "freedom of choice plan" where students could pick which formerly de jure segregated schools to attend. However this plan was to expire in summer 1970, and at that time, the then-new senior high school was to begin operations. Finances
As of the 2010–2011 school year, the appraised valuation of property in the district was $537,222,000. The maintenance tax rate was $0.104 and the bond tax rate was $0.015 per $100 of appraised valuation. Academic achievement
In 2011, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency. Forty-nine percent of districts in Texas in 2011 received the same rating. No state accountability ratings will be given to districts in 2012. A school district in Texas can receive one of four possible rankings from the Texas Education Agency: Exemplary (the highest possible ranking), Recognized, Academically Acceptable, and Academically Unacceptable (the lowest possible ranking).
