La Marque High School is a public high school in La Marque, Texas, United States in Greater Houston. The school, which serves grades 9 through 12, is a part of the Texas City Independent School District (TCISD); prior to July 1, 2016, the school district was a part of the La Marque Independent School District (LMISD).[2] After TCISD annexed LMISD, the school remained open, and its athletic teams continued to be separate from those of Texas City High School.[3]

As the LMISD school zones were retained after the merger,[4] the school serves sections of La Marque, half of Tiki Island, all of Bayou Vista, and portions of Texas City.[5][6] It has a total enrollment of 1400.[citation needed]

In February 2012, La Marque was reclassified as a University Interscholastic League 3A school, down from the 4A level.[7]
