Summary

Alvarado El-North is a PK-2 elementary school in Alvarado, TX, serving 276 students within the Alvarado Independent School District (Isd), where over 63% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its exceptional support for specific student groups. It ranks in the 85th percentile for Gifted and Talented students and the 71st percentile for Special Education students—both significantly higher than its overall 40th percentile ranking. Early literacy is a clear strength: 59.52% of its 3rd graders were proficient in Reading (STAAR), outperforming the district average (46.86%) and nearby schools like Lillian Elementary (44.26%) and Alvarado El-South (32.26%). The school also invests more per student ($10,501) than other Alvarado elementary schools, resulting in a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.5:1, compared to 16.1:1 at Alvarado El-South.

However, the school faces notable challenges. There is a significant gender gap in academic support, with female students ranking in the 50th percentile but male students only in the 32nd percentile. Additionally, while the school excels with Gifted and Special Education students, it ranks in the 22nd percentile for White students. The strong 3rd-grade reading scores at Alvarado El-North are not fully sustained at its feeder school, Alvarado Intermediate, where proficiency drops to 48.72%. Overall, Alvarado El-North is the highest-ranked elementary in its district but lags behind schools in the higher-performing Burleson Independent School District (Isd), such as Richard Bransom Elementary (78th percentile).

Open Quote The staff is nice, the education is not challenging. They seem to be more about keeping all the kids on the same level and less about allowing room for each student to be challenged and the possiblity for exceling. Close Quote
