Each school day, MISD welcomes more than 34,000 students through the doors of our 44 campuses, including 30 elementary schools, eight middle schools, five high schools and the Mesquite Academy, which offers accelerated instruction for non-traditional students.

MISD encompasses an area of approximately 60 square miles along either side of I-635 in east Dallas County. It draws students from the communities of Mesquite, Garland and Balch Springs, but also serves part of Dallas as well as high school students from Sunnyvale.
