Daingerfield-Lone Star Independent School District is a public school district based in Daingerfield, Texas (USA).

Located in Morris County, where it includes Daingerfield and most of Lone Star,[1] a small portion of the district extends into Titus County.[2]

This small district obtains its name from the two towns which, at one time, held at least one school. Lone Star Elementary was a small addition to the remaining four schools that now make up the entire district.Шаблон:Fact

The building in Lone Star was shut down in 2010, forcing all of the students to attend either West or South Elementary.[3]

In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.[4]

History

Шаблон:Expand section Daingerfield ISD took over areas of the Sycamore Common School District, which closed in 1951; these areas had the entirety of the white student body of the Sycamore CSD, and some of the black students.[5]

In 1961 it had over 1,500 students. At the time the football stadium had a recent renovation.[6]

In 1968, the district took a portion of the Cason Independent School District which had the remainder of the white students of that district.[5]

Circa 1970, the vast majority of the students were non-Hispanic White.[7]

In 1971 a school bond program was enacted, worth exceeding $1,350,000. In January 1972 the Marshall News Messenger reported that the building projects were "mostly completed".[8]

In 1986 enrollment was 2,115. More than half were given lunches that were priced at a lower or at no cost, a mark of poverty.[9]
