Aransas Pass ISD

What Aransas Pass ISD does

Aransas Pass Independent School District (APISD) is a public K-12 school district serving the community of Aransas Pass, Texas. The district operates four campuses spanning early childhood through 12th grade: H.T. Faulk Elementary (EC-2), Charlie Marshall Elementary (3-5), A.C. Blunt Middle School (6-8), and Aransas Pass High School (9-12). The reporting base is small, with 96 seniors in the Class of 2025, implying a total district enrollment likely in the 1,500-2,000 range. APISD's reported outcomes include 100% college acceptance for the Class of 2025.

The district's technology stack consists of third-party educational platforms rather than proprietary systems: Skyward for student information, Apptegy for the website and community communications, IXL Learning for adaptive practice, RevTrak for online payments, and Anonymous Alerts for tip reporting. In May 2024 the district launched a mobile app to strengthen school-to-home communication. Programmatic offerings include new healthcare and welding pathways funded by a $1.4 million JET Grant awarded in May 2023 — described as the largest grant in district history — plus math intervention and special education initiatives supported by external grants.

As a governmental entity, APISD is funded through a combination of local property taxes (M&O and I&S), state Foundation School Program aid, and federal grants, supplemented by private fundraising through the APISD Education Foundation (founded 2022; roughly $91,898 in cumulative grants awarded). The district has no commercial revenue model or pricing structure. The November 2025 VATRE proposition failed, constraining near-term funding flexibility. Leadership transitioned in late 2025, with Wayne Bennett named Superintendent in December 2025 following Dr. Glenn Barnes' departure to Cleveland ISD, and Adrianna Moreno appointed CFO. APISD competes with no other public provider within its attendance zone, but competes with nearby districts and charter/private options for residential and enrollment growth.
