| Public Schools on Post
yle="margin-top: 0px;">Moving from post to post is difficult on a family even when everything goes according to plan. The stress on the family is only compounded if the children run into school issues that put them at an unfair disadvantage — or worse prevent them from competing with their peers both academically and otherwise. Nothing can make a new post feel unfriendly than an unpleasant school experience for your children. In the past each military family was on its own. The parents either worked out school issues with the administration or they were a constant source of family/ school discord. The scene has changed drastically since the founding of the Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC). This organization founded by retired military and concerned educators is leading the fight for a level playing field for all military connected students. MCEC continues to make transitioning from post to post easier in the education realm. We encourage you to check out their website at www.militarychild.org talk to your school district administration or call the School Liaison Office (288-7946) for more information. Killeen Independent School District (KISD) operates all schools on post under Texas law. yle="margin-bottom: 0px;">Elementary Schools for Fort Hood children who live on post are:
Half-day pre-kindergarten classes are available in KISD. A child must be at least four years old on or before Sept. 1 of the school year to enter the half-day pre-kindergarten program. The child must be unable to speak the English language or be from a family whose income is at or below a certain level according to federal guidelines. A child entering kindergarten must be five years or older on Sept. 1 of the school year. Those entering first grade must be six years old the same date. yle="margin-bottom: 0px;">Middle Schools for Fort Hood children are:
yle="margin-bottom: 0px;">High Schools for Fort Hood children are:
Bus service is provided for those students who live on West Fort Hood and who attend the middle school and high schools. Children who live off post attend school at campuses near where they live. Parents needing specific information on school enrollment can contact the KISD Administration Office located at 200 N. W.S. Young Drive in Killeen 501-0034. yle="margin: 0px;">For information on Special Education services contact the office located at 600 Williamson 501-0284.

I personally like the schools on post here at Ft. Hood. My daughter has shown so much improvement from her last school in NC. Venable Village Elementary took the time out the my daughter needed (she is ADHD) and worked with her to help her reach her education goals. The school also tested her and has work with both her doctor and psychologists to get her on a 504 plan. They have been remarkable to both of my children.
