In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.[2]
History
In 2020 the district began designating Fridays as "flex days".[3]
Controversy
In July 2024, the ACLU of Texas sent Latexo Independent School District a letter, alleging that the district's 2023-2024 dress and grooming code appeared to violate the Texas CROWN Act, a state law which prohibits racial discrimination based on hair texture or styles, and asking the district to revise its policies for the 2024-2025 school year.[4][5]
