Summary:
Alvord Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single middle school, Alvord Middle, which serves grades 6 through 8 with a total enrollment of 182 students and a notably low student-teacher ratio of 11.6:1, suggesting smaller class sizes and more individualized attention.
Alvord Middle stands out for its exceptional advanced math program, achieving a perfect 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I for the 2025-2026 school year, far exceeding the state average of 54.03%. The school has also shown consistent improvement in its state ranking, climbing from the 64th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 71st percentile in 2025-2026. Overall, the school outperforms state averages in both reading (60.2% proficient vs. 55.4% statewide) and mathematics (49.4% proficient vs. 38.4% statewide), with 7th-grade math being a particular strength at 50% proficiency compared to just 29.41% statewide. The school also maintains a perfect 0.0% dropout rate.
However, performance is not uniform across all subjects and grades. A clear weakness exists in 8th-grade Social Studies, where scores have consistently lagged behind the state average (26.47% vs. 31.69% in 2025-2026). Additionally, there are notable swings in grade-level math performance; for instance, 6th-grade math proficiency dropped from 64.81% in 2024-2025 to 41% in 2025-2026, while 7th-grade math saw a significant improvement. The perfect Algebra I score may also reflect a very small, selective group of test-takers. Overall, Alvord Middle offers strong academic programs with targeted areas for improvement, particularly in social studies and ensuring consistent performance across all grade levels.
