Reaching the Whole Child
Supporting Military Children and Families
Randolph Field Independent School District
Randolph Field Independent School District is located on Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph in Universal City, Texas, and has proudly served military families for more than sixty years. Randolph Elementary School's song says it best: "Our parents serve the nation, our school reflects the best." Among the United States military, our district enjoys an excellent reputation for meeting the academic and social-emotional needs of children. Military-connected families trust Randolph Field Independent School District, as more than 65% of our families choose our schools even though they live in other school districts, often quite a distance away. Our district understands the unique pressures and demands faced by today's military families and we consistently go the extra mile to support our students and families.
