Summary

Alice W Douse Elementary is a mid-sized elementary school in Killeen, TX, serving 893 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade as part of the Killeen Independent School District (Isd). The school has shown a strong recovery trajectory, jumping from the 20th percentile statewide in 2024-2025 to the 41st percentile in 2025-2026, a positive trend that contrasts with the decline seen at nearby schools like Saegert Elementary.

The school's standout feature is its exceptional Gifted and Talented program, which ranks in the 93rd percentile statewide—a true hidden gem for families with academically advanced children. This is a significant differentiator from other area schools, including the higher-performing Maude Moore Wood Elementary (73rd percentile overall), which does not show comparable success with this subgroup. However, Alice W Douse faces persistent challenges in Mathematics and 5th Grade Science, where proficiency rates have been well below district and state averages. For example, only 13.6% of students were proficient in 5th Grade Science in 2024-2025, compared to the district's 20.86%.

When compared to its closest peer, Saegert Elementary (2.45 miles away), both schools serve similar demographics with comparable overall rankings and free/reduced lunch rates (56% vs. 60%), and both struggle in Math and Science. In contrast, Dr Joseph A Fowler Elementary (4.71 miles away) outperforms Alice W Douse despite having a higher rate of economic disadvantage (64%), particularly in 4th and 5th grade Reading and Math. This suggests that while Alice W Douse has notable strengths in supporting its highest-achieving students, there are opportunities to learn from neighboring schools to improve outcomes across all subjects and student groups.
