Academically, Alpine shows a strong upward trajectory in ELA from 3rd grade (39.3%) to 5th grade (68.8%, well above the district’s 57.6%). Math rebounds from a weak 4th grade to a solid 5th grade (50.0%). The school’s low-income students improved dramatically, moving from the 26th to 55th percentile statewide. The main challenges are raising middle-grade math and ensuring that strong gains in certain grades and subgroups are shared equitably across the whole school. For parents, Alpine offers a supportive, improving environment with notable strengths in science and upper-grade reading.
