The Wylie Independent School District is a public school district based in the far southern portion (often called Wylie)[1] of Abilene, Texas, United States. In order to avoid confusion with the Wylie Independent School District in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex suburb of Wylie, the district is commonly referred to as Abilene Wylie. In 2009, the school district was rated "recognized" by the Texas Education Agency.[2]
