Texas Public Schools and Charters, Explanation of Symbols and Terms
County, District, Region, School
The information on Texas public schools is arranged by counties, school districts (with education service
center [ESC] region number following), and schools. Addresses, telephone numbers, and zip codes are shown
immediately following the counties and school districts.
County-District-School Number
These columns show the identification numbers used by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for Texas counties,
school districts, and schools. The counties of the state are numbered from 1 through 254 in alphabetical order. In
2012-13, there were 1,247 educational entities with TEA-assigned school district numbers.

elementary school, junior high school, high school). Schools are numbered from 001 through 698. Schools are
categorized as: regular instructional; alternative instructional; juvenile justice alternative education program
instructional (JJAEP); disciplinary alternative education program instructional (DAEP); charter/regular
instructional; charter/alternative instructional; charter/JJAEP instructional; or charter/DAEP instructional.
