Aldine Independent School District (Isd)

The Aldine Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates a diverse set of 78 schools, including 50 elementary schools, 15 middle schools, 11 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 740 out of 961 school districts in Texas and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out in the district, including Blanson CTE High School, which is ranked 185 out of 1,974 Texas high schools and rated 5 stars, and Victory Early College High School, which is ranked 107 out of 1,987 Texas high schools and also rated 5 stars. These high-performing schools have exceptional test scores, with 80% or more of students proficient or better in core subjects. In contrast, the majority of the district's schools are struggling, with wide achievement gaps between the highest and lowest performing campuses.

The district faces significant challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and wide variations in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools. While the standout high-performing schools demonstrate that success is possible, the Aldine ISD will need to work to replicate those successes more broadly to improve academic outcomes for all of its students.
