Summary

Alvarado J H is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Alvarado Independent School District (ISD) in Texas, with 841 students. The school has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, with performance below the state average on most academic measures.

Alvarado J H has some notable performance differences among student subgroups. The school ranks relatively high for African American students but much lower for Hispanic, White, and multi-racial students, indicating significant achievement gaps. The school performs better than average for special education students but worse for English learners. However, Alvarado J H has maintained relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.3% to 0.6% over the past few years, and its students perform exceptionally well on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, with proficiency rates around 90% in recent years.

Compared to nearby middle schools in the Mansfield ISD, Burleson ISD, and Joshua ISD, Alvarado J H generally lags behind in academic performance, with many of the surrounding schools rated 3-4 stars by SchoolDigger. This may be due in part to Alvarado J H's relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced-price lunch, around 65-69% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools.
