 Circa 2003 some Bolivar Peninsula residents in the Galveston Independent School District (GISD) portion who were dissatisfied with the Crenshaw School, the then-two campus GISD K-8 school on the peninsula, sent their children to High Island schools.Crenshaw was rebuilt as a single campus in 2005.The school district lost approximately 15% of its students in 2008 due homes and residences destroyed by Hurricane Ike.
