La Marque Independent School District is a public school district based in La Marque, Texas (USA).

In addition to much of La Marque, the district serves portions of Texas City and Tiki Island.

In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.[1]

The Texas Education Agency's college readiness performance data shows that only 3.1% (5 out of 152 students) of the graduates of the class of 2010 of the La Marque school district met TEA's average performance criterion on SAT or ACT college admission tests. [2] [3]

Students from PreKindergarten to the 8th grade in the district require school uniforms.[4] The school requires PreK-8 students to wear golf shirts colored navy, gold, or white and navy trousers. 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 [5]; parents must specify "bona fide" reasons, such as religious reasons or philosophical objections.

High school students may wear solid-colored or striped golf shirts that do not have the colors red and black. Trousers may be navy, khaki, or denim.[4]
