Summary:
The city of Alice, Texas is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Alice Independent School District (ISD) except for one elementary school that is part of the Ben Bolt-Palito Blanco ISD. The data reveals a wide range of performance across the schools, with some standouts like Schallert Elementary and Adams Middle, as well as areas in need of improvement.
Schallert Elementary ranks among the top 25% of elementary schools in Texas, with strong test scores, particularly in 3rd grade reading and math. Adams Middle also stands out, with exceptional performance on end-of-course exams. Meanwhile, Ben Bolt-Palito Blanco Elementary, which is part of a different district, performs well above the state and district averages in many areas.
The data also reveals significant variation in school performance, with some schools struggling, such as Noonan Elementary and Saenz Elementary. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility across the schools indicate that the Alice area faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student learning. However, the performance of Alice High School on graduation rates and Adams Middle on end-of-course exams suggest that the district is finding success at the secondary level.
