Maud School

Maud ISD is a joke. I know... I just rmeoved all of my children. The only thing that school teaches are the TAKS tests. During the time that they aren't having a taks test they are doing practice taks test. It is very stressful for the children. Most of the older children there are very much behind to the point that last year they had to rearrange the sech. to make room for tutoring at lunch. This year they added 2 tutoring periods because most of the students were going to need summer school. Most of the good teachers are gone. Their contracts were not renewed because the new coaches coming in had teaching wives that needed a job. There are a few good teachers in the elementary, but.. not many.

Maud is a decent school. Of course the whole City is based on sports, sports and more sports. Some teachers teach, but the coaches/teachers do not. Other activites like FCCLA, Band, Ag, etc do not get the attention they deserve. The school is also run unfairly. Many teachers have been mistreated while some who have ties with head leaders in the school have done things that shouldnt have been done and everything was kept secret. Maud is your basic East texas certain money family runned school.

This school is the bomb! Trust me I go there. We have the best teachers who strive for our excellence. On top of that we are all very dedicated to everything we do. Academics, Sports, Band, etc.

Maud School was the most dismal part of my education. There are a few gems in the teaching department, though as I understand it several have left since I attended. If your child does not play sports, they may as well forget about finding something to truly enjoy here. Scholastic competition was a joke, as was Gifted and Talented. College advising was all but non-existant. I never looked back after receiving my diploma, nor do I ever intend to. Take your children elsewhere if you value their education.

Maud ISD is a great school! Students are challenged in all academic areas. It is almost like a private school. Besides the challenging curriculum, students can participate in every sport,in addition to band, FFA, FCCLA, Student Council, and NHS. Because the community is so close, students feel a real bond to the school and the community.
