The District The Red Lick Independent School District is located in Bowie County. The district, located just minutes from the city of Texarkana, covers 9 square miles. Our district serves students in Kindergarten through the 8th grade with an approximate enrollment of 510. RLISD offers a low student to teacher ratio which enables us to maintain academic excellence. The district competes with area 3A schools in both UIL academics and sports. The Red Lick community is very supportive of the school.
