Summary

Alpine High School is a small public high school in Alpine, TX, serving 286 students in grades 9-12 within the remote West Texas region of the Alpine Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and U.S. History. On recent state exams, Alpine High School students scored 73% proficient in English I and 79% in English II—roughly 17 to 20 percentage points above the state average. In U.S. History, 87% of students achieved proficiency, compared to 70% statewide. The school also boasts a very high graduation rate, averaging over 95% in the last five years, and has achieved a perfect 0.0% dropout rate. A key strength is its ability to support students from all backgrounds; economically disadvantaged students rank in the 85th percentile statewide, showing the school effectively closes opportunity gaps. With a student-teacher ratio of just 9.9:1, students benefit from small class sizes and personalized attention, which likely contributes to these strong outcomes.

While the school excels overall, there are two notable trends. Special Education students remain the lowest-performing subgroup, though they have improved from the 41st to the 59th percentile in recent years, indicating a need for continued focus. On a more positive note, English Language Learner students have made a dramatic turnaround, jumping from the 46th percentile to the 88th percentile in the most recent year—a sign of a highly effective new program. There are no other schools within 20 miles of Alpine High School for direct comparison, but against state averages, this school consistently ranks in the top 20% of Texas high schools, demonstrating resilience and a commitment to helping every student succeed.
