Murray Independent School District

What Murray Independent School District does

Murray Independent School District is a public K-12 school district organized as a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, serving students in Murray, Kentucky within Calloway County. The district operates three school levels — an Elementary School, a Middle School, and a High School — and provides free public education to enrolled students from kindergarten through 12th grade, with reported academic outcomes in the 2023-2024 School Report Card showing reading proficiency rates of 32% (Elementary), 32% (Middle), and 29% (High School), and math proficiency rates of 35%, 33%, and 40% respectively.

The district's operational technology stack is built on a standard K-12 SaaS platform layer: Infinite Campus functions as the student information system and parent portal (grades, attendance, academic records), Apptegy powers the district's website and content management, MySchoolBucks handles online meal payments for the breakfast and lunch programs, and Thrillshare hosts the district calendar and document distribution. The MISD Mobile App extends these services to iOS and Android, and the district maintains active engagement channels on Facebook, X, YouTube, and Instagram.

As a tax-funded government entity, Murray ISD derives its operating revenue from local property taxes, Commonwealth of Kentucky education funding, and federal grants, with no tuition charged to families. Enrollment is constrained to the district's assigned geographic catchment, and the district is governed by an elected school board under Kentucky Department of Education oversight. There are no parent companies, subsidiaries, or commercial ownership structures; revenue figures, enrollment counts, and audited financials are not disclosed in the input material.
