Summary

Midland Alternative Program is a small, specialized school in Midland, TX, serving 122 students in grades 7-12 within the Midland Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 41st percentile statewide. This school is designed as an alternative education program for students who have struggled in traditional settings, and it stands out for its unique mission and resource-intensive approach.

The most striking feature of Midland Alternative Program is its extraordinary investment in each student. In the 2020-2021 school year, the school spent an eye-popping $198,131 per student, which is over 20 times the spending at nearby comprehensive high schools like Legacy High School ($9,240) and Midland High School ($9,421). This massive funding supports an incredibly low student-teacher ratio, which was as low as 1.8 in recent years, compared to ratios of 19:1 or higher at other local schools. This means students receive highly individualized attention and support, likely including specialized staff and wraparound services to address behavioral or academic disengagement.

Despite serving a high-needs population—with nearly 73% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—the school has achieved a remarkable 0.0% dropout rate for five consecutive years, a stark contrast to nearby schools like Viola M Coleman High School (7.8%) or Richard Milburn Academy Midland (24.4%). However, academic proficiency on state tests is critically low, with some subjects showing 0% proficiency. This creates a clear paradox: the school prioritizes keeping students in school and providing a stable environment over maximizing test scores. Compared to the district's magnet schools, like Early College H S At Midland College (ranked in the 99th percentile), Midland Alternative Program serves a very different purpose—it is a last-resort option focused on retention and stability, not academic acceleration.
