Summary

Noonan Elementary in Alice, TX, is a public school serving 523 students in grades PK-5 within the Alice Independent School District (Isd), where 92.93% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a community with very high economic need. The school has shown a positive recent trend, climbing from the 7th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 38th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 2-star rating, though it remains the lowest-ranked elementary in its district, with Schallert Elementary (78th percentile, 4 stars) outperforming it significantly.

A standout strength is Noonan's 3rd Grade Reading performance, where 74.58% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—far above the district (58.69%) and state (51.08%) averages—but this success doesn't carry to 4th and 5th grades, where reading proficiency drops to 47.83% and 50.59%, respectively. Math is a consistent weakness, with 5th-grade proficiency at just 25.58%, the lowest among all Alice ISD elementary schools for that grade and subject, and 5th-grade science is also a critical area, with only 14.46% proficient in 2024-2025. The school performs relatively well for its Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status students (49th and 50th percentiles), but struggles with its White student population (8th percentile), and support for Special Education students is inconsistent, ranging from the 70th percentile to the 20th percentile in recent years.

Notably, Noonan's per-student spending ($9,307) is comparable to higher-performing peers like Schallert Elementary ($9,282) and Orange Grove Elementary ($8,896), suggesting funding isn't the issue but rather how resources are allocated. Just 19 miles away, Santa Gertrudis School in the Santa Gertrudis Independent School District (Isd) (94th percentile) serves a less economically disadvantaged population (40.88% free/reduced lunch) and achieves 78-88% reading proficiency across all elementary grades, highlighting the strong link between socioeconomic factors and outcomes. Within its own district, Schallert Elementary (83.78% free/reduced lunch) outperforms Noonan by a wide margin, suggesting school-specific leadership or instruction may be key areas for improvement.
