Summary

Alamo J H is a 7th and 8th-grade middle school in Midland, TX, serving 786 students within the Midland Independent School District (Isd), where about 64% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school presents a fascinating paradox: it excels in advanced math but struggles with core subjects. Its Algebra I program is a standout, with 73% of students proficient in 2025-2026—far above the district average of 37% and the state average of 54%. This makes Alamo competitive with nearby schools like Goddard J H (97% proficient) and Abell J H (94% proficient) in advanced math, even though those schools outperform Alamo in most other subjects.

However, this strength contrasts sharply with on-grade-level math, where only 23% of 7th graders and 31% of 8th graders were proficient in 2025-2026—both below district and state averages. Social Studies is a persistent weakness, with proficiency rates hovering between 10% and 14% over the last four years, well below the state average of 30-32%. Compared to San Jacinto J H, which serves a lower-poverty population (47% free/reduced lunch), Alamo trails in 8th-grade math (31% vs. 47%) and science (20% vs. 47% in 2024-2025).

On a positive note, Alamo has shown significant improvement in serving its African American students, jumping from the 14th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 58th percentile in 2025-2026. The school also maintains a lower dropout rate (1.4%) than the district average (2.1%), suggesting it keeps students engaged despite academic challenges. Special education services have been volatile, with scores swinging from the 80th percentile to the 37th percentile in recent years. Overall, Alamo J H has pockets of excellence, particularly in advanced math, but needs to strengthen its core curriculum to benefit all students.
