Cedar Hill Independent School District is a public school district based in Cedar Hill, Texas, United States.

Cedar Hill serves most of the city of Cedar Hill and portions of Grand Prairie, Ovilla, Duncanville and Dallas.

In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.

Cedar Hill ISD requires its students to wear school uniforms. For the 2007-2008 school year, students may wear red, white, and black collared shirts, with black or khaki trousers. In addition female students may wear knee-length skirts. Kindergarten through sixth grade may wear black or khaki shorts or capris in addition to the trousers. The Texas Education Agency specifies that the parents and/or guardians of students zoned to a school with uniforms may apply for a waiver to opt out of the uniform policy so their children do not have to wear the uniform; parents must specify "bona fide" reasons, such as religious reasons or philosophical objections.

In the early 2000s a large number of white families moved from Cedar Hill ISD, while many black families moved into the district. Robert Johansen, the principal of Bray Elementary, stated that some white families may have been concerned since many of the new students appeared visibly different.
