Gilmer Independent School District provides a comprehensive educational program with a wide range of academic and elective courses. Beginning at the elementary level and continuing through to high school, the curriculum emphasizes core academic classes and also provides opportunities for students to take advanced placement classes and special interest classes in a variety of areas.
The district's curriculum standards meet or exceed the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards established by Texas Education Agency (TEA). The TEKS specify what skills and concepts students should know and be able to do at each grade level.
