In 2009, the school district was rated "recognized" by the Texas Education Agency.[3]

History

Prior to 1994 Webb CISD served only Bruni and Oilton. Mirando City Independent School District served the community of Mirando City from 1923 to 2005. Prior to 1994 all Mirando City children attended Mirando City ISD schools. After spring 1994, Mirando High School closed.[4] Therefore, from Fall 1994 to July 1, 2005, WCISD served high schoolers from Mirando City while Mirando Elementary School in the Mirando City ISD served students from kindergarten through 8th grade. On May 9, 2005 the Texas Education Agency ordered the closure of Mirando City ISD. The district closed on July 1, 2005, and all students were rezoned to Webb CISD schools.[5]

In 2017, Bruni High School's UIL Literary Criticism team advanced to the state competition, placing as 2nd place team behind Graford High School. The next year, in 2018, the team advanced to the state competition once more, achieving first place team and becoming state champions in the Literary Criticism competition. In 2019, the team advanced in the competition once more, placing second after Graford High School. In addition, they won two individual awards, a second and third place.

School uniforms

The district requires its students to wear school uniforms (yellow polos with khaki pants, blue jeans or shorts in middle school and blue polos and khaki pants, blue jeans, or shorts in elementary and high school).

The Texas Education Agency specifies that the parents and/or guardians of students zoned to a school with uniforms may apply for a waiver to opt out of the uniform policy so their children do not have to wear the uniform; parents must specify "bona fide" reasons, such as religious reasons or philosophical objections.[6][7]
