Callisburg Elementary School

What Callisburg Elementary School does

Callisburg Elementary School (CES) is a public elementary school serving pre-kindergarten through 5th grade students within Callisburg Independent School District (Callisburg ISD), a government state entity operating under the Texas Education Agency and headquartered in Callisburg, Texas. The school shares the district's 'Wildcats' branding and operates from a single campus at 648 FM 3164, Gainesville, TX 76240, serving families in Callisburg and surrounding Cooke County. There is no tuition; enrollment is managed through the district's centralized registration process overseen by the elementary PEIMS coordinator and the registrar.

The school's core offering is a standard PK-5 academic program supplemented by a differentiated set of services: Special Education delivered through the Cooke County Special Education Cooperative, ESL/Bilingual programming, Dyslexia intervention, Gifted and Talented services, counseling, library media services, and a dedicated STEAM Lab. Technology infrastructure includes the Ascender student information system, ParentSquare for parent communication, ClassLink launchpad, Edgenuity for online learning, and Follett Destiny for library management. Health services include a district nurse and a school-based telemedicine program that allows students to consult remote medical professionals during school hours. While the school references KPFC Radio broadcasts and Hudl livestreaming for athletics, and a dual credit partnership with North Central Texas College (NCTC), the dual credit program operates at the high school level and is not directly delivered at CES.

As a public school, Callisburg Elementary School does not operate as a revenue-generating enterprise. Funding flows from state per-pupil allocations, local property taxes collected by Callisburg ISD, and federal grants including Title I, IDEA, and ESSER. The only direct consumer charges are school meal prices — $1.10 for breakfast and $2.55 for lunch, with reduced-price meals provided free to eligible students — collected through the National School Lunch Program and processed via EZSchoolPay and EZMealApp. The 11-50 employee range reflects a small rural public elementary school operating within a three-campus district that also includes Callisburg Middle School (grades 6-8) and Callisburg High School (grades 9-12).
