West Hardin County Consolidated Independent School District is a public school district based in the community of Saratoga, Texas, USA.
The district was formed in the early 1960s as a part of the merger between the Saratoga Independent School District (formed 1919 [1]) and the Batson Independent School District which was met with legal opposition after the vote to consolidate that was held in January of 1961 was contested later that year with a drawn-out legal battle ensuing, in which the role of the county attorney was contested, as well as attempting to bring attention to alleged discrepancies in vote counts. [2]
In addition to Saratoga, the district serves the cities of Batson , Thicket, and Votaw, as well as the unincorporated communities of Hoop and Holler and Outlaw Bend.
In 2009, the school district was rated " academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency. [3]
