Summary:
The Alpine Independent School District (Isd) is served by a single elementary school, Alpine Elementary, which educates 375 students in grades PK through 4 in a small West Texas community.
Alpine Elementary shows a clear "3rd Grade Peak" in its academic performance. In the 2025-2026 school year, 3rd graders excelled in Reading, with 65.45% proficient—a strong 14.37 percentage points above the state average. However, performance drops sharply in 4th grade, where proficiency in both Reading (37.68%) and Mathematics (30.43%) falls well below state averages. Mathematics is a consistent challenge across all grades, with the school never meeting the state average in any math test. Despite these mixed scores, the school's state ranking has improved from the 31st percentile to the 40th percentile over three years, suggesting that the strong 3rd-grade results are lifting its overall standing.
With a student-teacher ratio of 15.9 and per-student spending of $11,769, the school has reasonable resources. The key takeaway for parents is that Alpine Elementary excels in early reading instruction but faces significant challenges in mathematics and in maintaining student progress through the 4th grade. The school's improving ranking is a positive sign, but the sharp decline in 4th-grade scores warrants attention to the transition between grade levels and the math curriculum.
