Summary

Dubose Elementary in Alice, TX, is a PK-5 public school serving 483 students within the Alice Independent School District (Isd), and it has shown a remarkable turnaround over the past four years, climbing from a 1-star rating to a consistent 2-3 star performance. This school stands out for its exceptional work with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 74th percentile statewide for this group in a recent year—a strength not seen in nearby schools like Noonan Elementary or Saenz Elementary. Dubose also excels with its Special Education students, performing well above the state average, and its Gifted and Talented program is a hidden gem, ranking in the 88th percentile statewide.

What makes Dubose particularly interesting is its proximity to Schallert Elementary, just 0.22 miles away, which is a consistent top performer with a lower rate of economic disadvantage. While Schallert has maintained high rankings, Dubose has been on a steep upward climb, actively closing the gap and proving that demographics are not destiny. The school’s 5th-grade math scores (53.62% proficient) are above both the district and state averages, though this strength isn't yet consistent across all grades, with 3rd and 4th-grade math lagging behind. This suggests effective strategies are in place for upper elementary math that may need to be expanded to lower grades.

However, science remains a critical weak point for Dubose and the entire Alice ISD, with only 15.94% of 5th graders proficient—less than half the state average. This is a systemic issue shared by nearby schools like Schallert Elementary and Noonan Elementary, pointing to a district-wide need for improved science resources. Despite this challenge, Dubose’s ability to support a wide range of students—from the most disadvantaged to the most advanced—makes it a school worth watching for families seeking a community-focused education with a strong upward trajectory.
