Summary:
The 76009 zip code area in Texas is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Alvarado Independent School District (ISD). While the district as a whole is ranked 707 out of 968 in Texas and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement, some schools in the area stand out.
Alvarado High School excels with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 97.7% and strong performance on some STAAR EOC exams, such as U.S. History and English II Reading. However, the school struggles with lower proficiency rates in Algebra I compared to district and state averages. Meanwhile, Alvarado J.H.

The elementary schools in the area face more challenges, with Lillian Elementary having the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 76.34%, indicating a high-need student population. This school also has the highest spending per student at $11,975, but its students generally perform below state averages on STAAR/EOC exams. The other elementary schools, Alvarado Intermediate, Alvarado El-South, and Alvarado El-North, also struggle to meet state proficiency standards, particularly in reading and math.
