Summary

Calvert School is a small, alternative public school in Calvert, TX, serving 145 students from Pre-K through 12th grade within the Calvert Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its extremely low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.4:1, which is much lower than the Texas state average of about 14-15:1, offering a highly personalized learning environment for a community where over 92% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

One of the most interesting findings is the extreme year-over-year volatility in test scores, a direct result of the school's small size. For example, U.S. History EOC proficiency rates swung from 40% to 72.73% and then down to 28.57% in recent years, while math scores have been a persistent weakness, with 3rd, 5th, and 7th grade math all recording 0% proficiency in the most recent data. This volatility makes it hard to spot clear trends, as a change of just a few students passing or failing can dramatically shift percentages. Despite these academic challenges, the school maintains a high graduation rate (81.8% in 2023-2024) and a very low dropout rate (0% in 2023-2024), suggesting it successfully keeps students on track to earn a diploma, even if many are not meeting state academic benchmarks.

Compared to the state of Texas, Calvert School spends significantly more per student—over $15,500 annually—which is well above the typical $10,000-$12,000 state average, likely due to the need to support a full K-12 staff and facilities for a small student body. This high investment, combined with the low class sizes, appears to be a strategic effort to overcome the barriers of economic disadvantage, but the school is still struggling to bring most students to grade-level proficiency in core subjects like math and reading. For parents, this means Calvert School offers a caring, close-knit environment with strong support for graduation, but it faces serious challenges in academic achievement that require targeted attention.
