Alvarado Independent School District (Isd)

The Alvarado Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving a diverse student population with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Alvarado High School stands out with the highest graduation rate in the district at 97.7% and strong performance on the U.S. History STAAR EOC exam, though it lags behind in Algebra I proficiency. Meanwhile, Alvarado J.H. (Middle School) excels in Algebra I with a 100% proficiency rate, but struggles in other subject areas. The district's elementary schools generally perform below state averages, with Alvarado Intermediate and the two primary schools, Alvarado El-South and Alvarado El-North, lagging behind the state in reading and math proficiency.

The district as a whole faces significant challenges, with most schools underperforming compared to state averages on STAAR tests. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools, ranging from 62.8% to 76.34%, indicate a substantial population of economically disadvantaged students, raising concerns about equity and the district's ability to provide equal educational opportunities for all students. The district should focus on addressing these disparities and improving academic outcomes, particularly in reading and math, while also learning from the successes of high-performing schools like Alvarado J.H. in specific subject areas.
