Granbury is a city and the&nbsp;county seat&nbsp;of&nbsp;Hood County, Texas, United States.&nbsp;As of the&nbsp;2010 census, the city's population was 7,978, and it is the principal city of the&nbsp;Granbury micropolitan statistical area. Granbury is located 35 miles (56&nbsp;km) southwest of&nbsp;Fort Worth, Texas.Granbury started as a square and log cabin courthouse. Many of the buildings on the square are now registered historic landmarks, including the Granbury Opera House, which still hosts "Broadway" productions. The city name originated from the&nbsp;Confederate&nbsp;General&nbsp;Hiram B. Granberry. To explain why the city name is spelled differently, some scholars believe the name Granberry was misread on a document. Still, recent findings have concluded that Granberry chose to spell his name Granbury.A recent expansion of the city was made possible by building a&nbsp;Brazos River&nbsp;dam in 1969, which formed&nbsp;Lake Granbury, a long, narrow lake that flows through the city.Granbury and Hood County are rich in Texas history.&nbsp;David (Davy) Crockett's wife, Elizabeth, settled in Hood County in 1853 following the Texas Revolution against Mexico. Crockett, as well as other Alamo participants, received 640 acres in land grants. The Crockett family received land in what is now Hood County. Elizabeth Crockett is buried in&nbsp;Acton State Historic Site, the smallest state park in Texas. A large statue of Elizabeth Crockett marks her gravesite. Several of Crockett's descendants still reside in Hood County.

Abilene Independent School District is a public school district based in Abilene, Texas (USA). The district serves the cities of Abilene and Impact in northeastern Taylor County as well as the portion of Abilene that lies in southeastern Jones County. As of the 2009-10 school year, AISD enrolled 17,016 students in 2 High Schools, 2 Magnet High Schools, 4 Middle Schools, 15 Elementary Schools and numerous special and alternative campuses. The district's enrollment peaked, for the time being, in the late 1990s and early part of the new century as development in south Abilene began to sprawl ever outward, spilling into neighboring Wylie ISD and Jim Ned CISD. As the city continues to age, school enrollment seems to have stabilized, for now, around 17,000.
In 2011, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the&nbsp;Texas Education Agency.&nbsp;Forty-nine percent of districts in Texas in 2011 received the same rating.&nbsp;No state accountability ratings will be given to districts in 2012.&nbsp;A school district in Texas can receive one of four possible rankings from the Texas Education Agency: Exemplary (the highest possible ranking), Recognized, Academically Acceptable, and Academically Unacceptable (the lowest possible ranking).
