Summary:
The Alief Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 6 high schools that serve students in grades 9-12. Two of these schools, Kerr High School and Alief Early College High School, stand out as exceptional performers, ranking among the top 25 high schools in the state of Texas. These two schools boast impressive graduation rates of 99.5% and 100%, respectively, as well as exceptionally high proficiency rates on state assessments that far exceed the district and state averages.
In contrast, the other high schools in the Alief ISD generally perform below the state averages on standardized tests, suggesting a need for the district to identify and address the factors contributing to these performance gaps. Additionally, the high schools in the district serve a significant proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 70-90% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This highlights the importance of targeted support and resources to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students within the district.
The data also reveals the potential benefits of smaller school environments, as evidenced by the Alief Learning Center (6-12), which has a remarkably low student-teacher ratio of 4.9 to 1. This suggests that such personalized learning environments may be particularly beneficial for students facing academic or behavioral challenges. Overall, the analysis of the Alief ISD high schools provides valuable insights into the district's strengths, areas for improvement, and the unique needs of its diverse student population.
