Summary

Noonan Elementary is a public elementary school located in Alice, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 542 students. It is part of the Alice Independent School District, which is ranked 557 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Noonan Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, with its performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades at Noonan Elementary was 36%, 35.29%, and 48.19%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 52.02%, 53.73%, and 57.83%. The school's performance is also lower than the nearby Saenz Elementary and Dubose Elementary, which are part of the same school district.

Noonan Elementary faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds (89.3% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and a predominantly Hispanic student population. While the school's per-student spending is slightly higher than the state average, it is lower than the nearby Saenz Elementary and Dubose Elementary, which may indicate a need for more equitable resource allocation within the district. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multifaceted approach, including targeted interventions, increased resources, and a focus on equity and culturally responsive practices.
