Summary:

The Richard Milburn Alter High School (Killeen) district is a network of nine alternative high schools serving grades 9-12 across Texas, including locations in Odessa, Corpus Christi, Fort Worth, Houston (Suburban), Lubbock, Midland, Killeen, Amarillo, and Pasadena, with a total enrollment of about 1,607 students. These schools are designed for students who have struggled in traditional settings, which is crucial context for understanding their performance metrics.

Within this challenging environment, Richard Milburn Academy Pasadena stands out as the strongest performer, with the highest state ranking (6th percentile) and a Biology STAAR EOC proficiency rate of 54.55%—dramatically higher than the district average of 16.13% and the only school approaching the state average. Its low student-teacher ratio of 15.2:1 likely contributes to this relative success. In contrast, Richard Milburn Academy Odessa faces the greatest challenges, with the largest enrollment (350 students), a staggering 50.6:1 student-teacher ratio, the lowest graduation rate (17.0%), and 0% proficiency in Algebra I. Richard Milburn Academy Fort Worth shows extreme volatility, achieving a 41.67% proficiency in U.S. History in 2025-2026 after scoring 0% the previous year, highlighting how small cohort sizes can cause dramatic swings.

District-wide, the average graduation rate is critically low at 24.8%, and the average dropout rate is alarmingly high at 23.8%. STAAR EOC proficiency rates are drastically below state averages across all subjects, with Algebra I at just 4.74% (state: 54.03%) and U.S. History as a relative strength at 23.17% (state: 70.17%). The district serves a high-needs population, with 67.9% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, ranging from 49.66% in Richard Milburn Academy Midland to 92.36% in Richard Milburn Academy Houston (Suburban). Notably, per-student spending varies widely from $6,197 to $10,235, but shows no clear correlation with performance, suggesting that how money is spent—such as on smaller class sizes—matters more than the total amount.
