Summary:
Zip code 74825 has two schools serving different age groups: Allen Elementary School serves prekindergarten through grade 8, and Allen High School serves grades 9–12; together they enroll 462 students. The schools’ latest results show different profiles: elementary mathematics is above the state figure, while the high school is below the state in each reported subject. The most notable area-wide concern is the high school’s broad drop in test proficiency, with results down in all four reported subjects from the prior year.
Allen Elementary stands out in 2025–2026 mathematics: 37% of students were proficient, 12 percentage points above the state’s 25%; science was 32%, 2 points above the state, and ELA matched the state at 26%. Results vary by grade, however: grade 3 mathematics reached 55%, while grade 8 was 9%. Allen High School was below the state in all four subjects: ELA 19% versus 26%, mathematics 4% versus 25%, science 8% versus 30%, and U.S. History 35% versus 41%. These all-grades results are not grade-matched comparisons because the schools serve different grades.
The high school’s results fell from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA dropped 23 percentage points, mathematics 11, science 19, and U.S. History 4. Its average across those subjects fell from about 31% to 17%, and its SchoolDigger statewide ranking moved from the 65th percentile to the 15th. Elementary results were steadier: ELA stayed at 26%, mathematics fell from 40% to 37%, and science rose from 29% to 32%; its SchoolDigger ranking shifted from the 79th to the 73rd percentile. Other measures add context: the high school’s 2024–2025 graduation rate was 94%, compared with 78% statewide, and its 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism was 10%, versus 16% statewide. In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 86% at the elementary school and 84% at the high school; student-teacher ratios were 12.7 and 11.3, respectively. These are observations about the schools, not explanations for their different outcomes.
