Summary:
Alpine Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one middle school, Alpine Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating over the past few years, dropping from 561 out of 2,330 Texas middle schools in 2022-2023 to 844 out of 2,344 in 2024-2025, with a corresponding drop in its rating from 4 stars to 3 stars.
Alpine Middle School's performance on STAAR tests is mixed, with the school outperforming the state average in reading for all grades but underperforming in mathematics and science for most grades. The school has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 51.37% in 2023-2024, suggesting it serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population. However, the school has a relatively low dropout rate of 0.4% in 2022-2023, indicating it is effectively retaining its students and supporting their educational progress.
Despite the declining performance, Alpine Middle School appears to be well-resourced, with a relatively high spending per student of $12,394 for the 2020-2021 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 for the 2023-2024 school year. These factors may contribute to the school's ability to provide personalized attention to its students, which could be a factor in its academic performance.
