Roxton Independent School District was a public school district based in Roxton, Texas (USA).

The district was entirely in Lamar County.[1]

History

In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.[2]

In 2018, the district leadership stated that it wished to consolidate due to financial problems and that it was holding discussions with two potential suitor school districts.[3] There was also consideration of the district becoming elementary only.[4] Roxton ISD and the Chisum Independent School District formed a consolidation agreement, signed by the board of Chisum ISD,[5] and the measure was to be put to the voters.[6]

Roxton ISD closed after the 2018–2019 school year and consolidated with Chisum ISD.[7]
