Alvarado Intermediate

Summary:

Alvarado Intermediate is an elementary school in Alvarado, Texas, serving 799 students in grades 3-5. The school is part of the Alvarado Independent School District, which is ranked 707 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Alvarado Intermediate struggles, with student performance on STAAR tests consistently below the state average in reading, math, and Spanish assessments. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 1,620 out of 4,578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 3,402 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, earning it a 1-star rating. This is particularly true for specific student subgroups, such as White students (ranked 2,606 out of 3,106) and English Language Learners (ranked 3,089 out of 3,556). However, the school's performance for African American students (ranked 1,102 out of 2,443) is relatively stronger compared to other subgroups.

Alvarado Intermediate serves a high-needs student population, with 73.34% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average. While the school's spending per student has increased over the years, from $8,570 in 2018-2019 to $9,967 in 2020-2021, it still lags behind some nearby schools, such as Lillian Elementary ($11,975 per student) and Santa Fe Elementary ($11,677 per student). Addressing these disparities and providing targeted support to the school's diverse student population will be crucial for improving the overall educational experience and outcomes at Alvarado Intermediate.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
