School Overview
Crenshaw Elementary and Middle School is a public school located in the small, coastal community of Port Bolivar, Texas. As part of the Galveston Independent School District (GISD), the school serves a tight-knit student population, offering instruction from the elementary grades through middle school. Its location on the Bolivar Peninsula provides a unique educational environment, often characterized by its close proximity to the Gulf Coast and a focus on serving the specific needs of the local island community.

Because it operates under the Galveston ISD umbrella, the school benefits from the resources and curriculum standards of a larger district while maintaining the atmosphere of a smaller, neighborhood-focused campus. The school is central to the Port Bolivar area, acting as a primary hub for local families. Those seeking more detailed information regarding the school’s academic programs, specific grade levels, or district announcements can visit the official GISD website at http://www.gisd.org.
