Description of the District

The Robstown ISD is joined in the north by Calallen Independent School District, in the Northeast by the Tuloso-Midway Independent School District, in the Southeast by the West Oso Independent School District, in the south by the Bishop Independent School District and in the west by Banquete Independent School District.
The Robstown Independent School District has eight campuses that serve approximately 3600 students in Pre-Kindergarten through grade 12. There are two secondary schools, including one high school and one Junior High School and five elementary schools. The district is approximately 98% Hispanic, 1% white and 1% African American.
The city of Robstown, Nueces County, Texas was established in 1907. Robstown lies in the Coastal Bend area, 10 miles west of Corpus Christi. Main highways run in four directions -- north and south, U.S. Highway 77 (Canada to Mexico). East and west, State Highway 44 (Corpus Christi to Laredo.) The prairie land of Robstown was promoted as a prime area for farmers in the early part of the century. Prospective farmers came on excursion trains called the Blackland Specials. Many liked what they saw and stayed to develop one of the
nation’s largest cotton and vegetable farming areas. In more recent times, Robstown has become the cotton and maize center of the Coastal Bend.
Robstown is part of the Coastal Bend. Our neighbor to the east is Corpus Christi. This puts us very close to a large metropolitan area and the wonderful sandy beaches of the Coastal Bend.
