District Profile

For 2008 our accountability rating was:  RECOGNIZED.

Barbers Hill ISD is a suburban district encompassing 192.3 square miles in western Chambers County, Texas, strategically located at the intersection of Interstate 10 and State Highway 146. Its borders consist of the Trinity River on the east to Harris County line on the west; from Trinity Bay on the south to Liberty County line on the North.  This large area contains four distinct communities (Mont Belvieu, Old River-Winfree, Cove, and Beach City) brought together by a common bond:  the school system. 

Barbers Hill has experienced a fast annual growth rate, recently reaching 9.5% and has approximately 3900 students.  Barbers Hill High School (9-12) with approximately 1100 students is joined by a middle school (7-8), an intermediate school (5-6), an elementary school (3-4), a primary school (1-2), a kindergarten center (PK-K) and an alternative campus.  There are several construction projects on-going for a growing district.  A new elementary is planned for the near future. 

The middle school is in its fifth year as a 1:1 campus, and the high school is in its third year.  At this time, every student and teacher in grades 7 - 12 has his/her own laptop for academic purposes.  Plans are underway to pilot the 1:1 concept in the 6th grade.

For the 2008 - 2010 school years, Barbers Hill ISD joins UIL District 19 - 4A  in both academics and athletics.
