Aledo ISD

The district is the largest institution in the footprint and the reason most people move here. This page keeps its numbers in one place, each with the record it came from. The 2026-27 school calendar, every holiday, break and early-release day from the board-approved PDF, has its own page. Which campus an address is zoned to: the attendance-zone guide, from the district's maps and board record.
