Summary:
The city of Alice, Texas is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Alice Independent School District (ISD), except for one elementary school which is part of the Ben Bolt-Palito Blanco ISD. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance, with Schallert Elementary standing out as the top-performing school, while the middle and high school struggle more academically.
Schallert Elementary ranks 1243 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools and has the highest proficiency rates in reading and math across the grade levels. In contrast, Adams Middle ranks relatively low statewide but stands out for its high proficiency rate in Algebra I, with 90.48% of students scoring proficient or better. Alice High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.2%, but its statewide ranking and test scores are on the lower end compared to other high schools in Texas.
Across the district, the schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges. This suggests that addressing the disparities in academic performance, particularly at the secondary level, and supporting the economically disadvantaged student population, could be key priorities for the district.
