Summary

Alvord Middle is a small, rural school in Alvord, TX, serving 182 students in grades 6-8 within the Alvord Independent School District (Isd).

Alvord Middle stands out for its exceptional math program. In the most recent school year, 100% of its Algebra I students passed the end-of-course exam, far exceeding the state average of 54%. The school also outperforms state averages in 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade math, with 7th-grade proficiency rates nearly double those of nearby Bowie J H and Paradise Middle. This strength is supported by a low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.6:1 and higher per-student spending ($12,312) compared to neighboring districts like Bowie Independent School District (Isd) ($8,856) and Paradise Independent School District (Isd) ($8,701). The school also excels with its Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide, a unique strength not seen in other area schools.

While Alvord Middle has a perfect zero percent dropout rate over the past five years, it faces challenges. Its overall state ranking has dipped slightly from the 87th to the 71st percentile in recent years. Social studies is a consistent weak point, with only 26% of 8th graders proficient, below the state average. Additionally, the school struggles to support its English Language Learner students, who ranked in the 14th percentile, and has shown inconsistent results for its Special Education population. These areas present clear opportunities for growth as the school continues to build on its math and advanced learning successes.
