Wichita Falls ISD avoids state takeover after improving from 11 to 5 failing campuses.
Wichita Falls Independent School District will avoid state takeover after years of academic struggles, officials announced on March 5, 2026.
The decision follows the closure of Kirby Middle School, which had received five consecutive F grades, triggering potential state intervention.
The district relocated students to Hirschi Middle School and partnered with Third Future Schools, a charter network focused on turnaround efforts.
Texas Education Agency Commissioner Mike Morath confirmed the district’s progress, allowing it to retain its locally elected board.
The district reduced the number of failing campuses from 11 in 2022-23 to five in 2024-25, with leadership expecting no failing campuses in upcoming ratings.
The outcome contrasts with recent state takeovers in Houston, Beaumont, Connally, and Lake Worth.
