Circa 2003 some Bolivar Peninsula residents in the Galveston Independent School District (GISD) portion who were dissatisfied with the Crenshaw School, the then-two-campus GISD K-8 school on the peninsula, sent their children to High Island schools.[2] Crenshaw was rebuilt as a single campus in 2005.[3]
The school district lost approximately 15% of its students in 2008 due to homes and residences destroyed by Hurricane Ike In the fall of 2009, the district reported an enrollment of 186 students.[4]
As of the 2023–2024 school year, the district's student population has seen a decrease to 159 students, reflecting ongoing demographic shifts in the Bolivar Peninsula area. Despite these changes, the district maintains a low student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 11:03, emphasizing a personalized educational environment.[5]

"The existing school — made up of two campuses about a half-mile apart — have been a sore spot for many residents who felt the district was shortchanging the peninsula. The peninsula generates about $3 million revenue from local property taxes and state contributions to the district. Some residents responded through the years by sending their kids to the neighboring High Island Independent School District."
