Summary

Devine Learning Academy is a small alternative high school in Devine, TX, serving just 26 students in grades 9 through 12 as part of the Devine Independent School District (Isd). The school shares an address with the district’s Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP), indicating it is designed for students who need a non-traditional learning environment. However, the school is in a state of crisis, with consistently bottom-tier state rankings (1-4% percentile) and zero-star ratings for four consecutive years.

The most alarming metric is the school’s dropout rate, which reached 14.3% in the 2023-2024 school year—over 47 times higher than the 0.3% rate at nearby Devine High School, located less than a mile away. Academic performance is equally dire: STAAR test scores show 0% proficiency in Algebra I and English I, compared to 55% and 56% at Devine High School. Even the lowest-performing traditional high school in the area, Natalia High School, scored 16% in Algebra I. The only slight exception is U.S. History, where 30.77% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, though this remains far below the state average of 67.94%.

This school serves a high proportion of students from low socio-economic backgrounds, yet its outcomes are profoundly worse than other alternative programs like Lytle Daep, which reported a 0% dropout rate. The data suggests that Devine Learning Academy is failing its core mission of re-engaging at-risk students. With no reported student-teacher ratio for three years and a tiny enrollment, the school appears to lack the intensive support needed. For parents, this school represents a last-resort option with extremely poor academic outcomes and a high risk of dropout, contrasting sharply with the solidly average performance of Devine High School just down the road.
