Randolph Field Independent School District is a public school district based in Universal City, Texas (USA).
The district serves the children of Randolph Air Force Base military personnel. So long as a parent or guardian is assigned to Randolph, the student does not have to physically reside on the base to attend Randolph schools; however, the student must be accepted on a transfer basis in such cases. Pre-kindergarten and Kindergarten children of service members are not accepted via the transfer program.
Randolph Field ISD is one of three school districts in the state whose boundaries are coterminous with a military installation; the other two (also in the San Antonio area) are Lackland and Fort Sam Houston. Founded in 1933, it was the first school district in Texas to serve a military installation.
In 2009, the school district was rated "recognized" by the Texas Education Agency.
