The Allamoore Independent School District was a public school district based in the community of Allamoore, Texas, United States. The approximately district was known as the Allamoore Consolidated Independent District prior to 1992.
History The one-room schoolhouse was built circa 1910. In previous eras, the school had two teachers. In later eras, there was only one teacher who also did all administrative functions. Enrollment was determined by the fluctuating number of employees on ranches in the area. In portions of the 1950s and 1960s, the district hired a teacher to be at the school, but there were no students to teach. - Clipping from Newspapers.com. In 1988, Allamoore's total enrollment was eight students, which made it one of the smallest school districts in the state of Texas. In 1990, that figure was down to three, cousins of one another, with one of the students being the daughter of the teacher. By 1995, the student population was still three. - Clipping from Newspapers.com.
On July 1, 1995, Allamoore ISD consolidated with the Culberson County Independent School District based in nearby Van Horn to form the Culberson County-Allamoore Independent School District.
