Summary

Student Alternative Center is a small public high school in Angleton, Texas that serves grades 7-12 as part of the Angleton Independent School District. With an enrollment of just 27 students, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools and struggling with low academic performance across subject areas.

The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are far below the district and state averages, with only 14.29% of 6th graders reaching proficiency in reading compared to over 54% at the district and state level. Student Alternative Center also has concerning performance for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools for female and Hispanic students. Additionally, the school has extremely high poverty rates, with 86-92% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the 69.5% rate at the district's main high school, Angleton High School.

Despite the school's low academic performance, it spends significantly more per student, ranging from $25,913 to $83,457 over the past three years, compared to $10,246 per student at Angleton High School. This raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and programming. With limited nearby comparison schools, also struggling academically, addressing the challenges at Student Alternative Center will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational quality and student success.
