Summary:

Schools in Alpine School District are represented here by one K–8 school, Alpine Elementary School, serving 146 students. In 2025–2026, the school’s average results were above state averages in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, with the largest average advantage in science: 39 percentage points across Grades 5 and 8, compared with 31 points in ELA and 19 in math. The most important finding is that results remain ahead of the state in most comparisons, but Alpine’s average advantage narrowed from the previous year in all three subjects.

There is no meaningful school-to-school comparison because only one school is listed; within Alpine, results vary notably by subject and grade. Its strongest reported 2025–2026 results were 100% in Algebra I, 93% in sixth-grade ELA, and 67% in eighth-grade science. Algebra I was 60 percentage points above the state’s result, and eighth-grade science was 48 points higher. The clearest weak spot was fourth-grade math: 40%, or 7 points below the state. Math was above the state in four of five grades with reported results, while ELA was higher in all six tested grades and both reported science results were higher.

Year-to-year results were mixed by grade, even as Alpine’s overall advantage over the state decreased: the average ELA gap fell from 36 to 31 percentage points, math from 24 to 19, and science from 49 to 39. For example, fourth-grade ELA fell 45 points, while third-grade math rose 20 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking also moved down over the supplied history: from 37th of 1,338 schools, at the 97th percentile with 5 stars in 2023–2024, to 231st of 1,331, at the 83rd percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026. Other context includes an 8:1 student-teacher ratio and chronic absenteeism of 5% in 2024–2025, compared with 14% statewide. The reported low-income measure was 2% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2022–2023; these figures are observations, not explanations for test results.
