Our Vision

MAISD will be an educational partner in building strong communities.

Our Mission

In partnership with its communities, MAISD provides innovative and effective learning opportunities for students, schools, and families. 

Annual Education Reports

The Annual Education Report (AER) provides key information about the educational progress on the complex reporting of information required by federal and state laws. The reports contain information about student assessment, accountability and teacher quality. We have three AERs available  to parents and the community. Below is a list of each school with a link to its AER letter and data.
