Charlotte Independent School District is a public school district based in Charlotte, Texas (USA). Located in Atascosa County, a small portion of the district extends into Frio County.
In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.
The most remarkable feature of the school authorities is that they have included all the websites which could help the students get Scholarships or other financial aids from other sources. This could be very helpful for the students as well as their parents.
