Summary

Manvel High School in Manvel, TX, is a large public high school serving 2,238 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Alvin Independent School District (Isd), a well-regarded district ranking in the top 25% of Texas school districts. The school has shown a strong upward trajectory, improving its state ranking from a low point in the 2021-2022 school year to the 68th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year, a positive momentum not shared by nearby Alvin High School, which has remained stagnant. While Shadow Creek High School (just 5.87 miles away) leads the district with a 4-star rating and higher overall scores, Manvel stands out for its consistent excellence in U.S. History, where it has outperformed the state average and even matched or exceeded Pearland High School in recent years.

Manvel demonstrates remarkable effectiveness with specific student groups, ranking in the 83rd percentile for Special Education students and the 84th percentile for English Language Learners in the 2024-2025 school year, indicating strong support systems for students who often face the greatest academic challenges. The school also excels in serving its African American student population, ranking in the 81st percentile for this subgroup, outperforming its overall ranking and nearby schools like Hightower High School. However, the school faces a key challenge in Algebra I, where only 53.4% of students are proficient, significantly below the district average of 66% and a stark contrast to its strong performance in Biology (76.9% proficient) and U.S. History (78.5% proficient).

Compared to nearby alternative campuses like Rise and Adapt, which focus on student retention with high graduation rates but low test scores, Manvel is a comprehensive high school balancing academic growth with a high graduation rate of 97.6%. While it cannot directly compete with top-performing Glenda Dawson High School (91st percentile) or Robert Turner College And Career High School (92nd percentile) from the neighboring Pearland Independent School District (Isd), Manvel’s targeted strengths and upward trend make it a school on the rise, with its primary area for improvement being Algebra I proficiency.
