Weslaco Independent School District is a school district headquartered in Weslaco, Texas (USA).
It was created in 1921 after the city (established in 1919) successfully petitioned the state legislature to separate from Donna and their district. The district serves the city of Weslaco, a western portion of the city of Mercedes,[1] and several unincorporated communities in Hidalgo County. This includes much of Midway South (sections east of South Midway Road),[2] a portion of Midway North,[3] Villa Verde,[4] Olivarez,[5] Llano Grande,[6] and the WISD part of Mila Doce.[7] [8]
