Summary

Midland Alternative Program is a small public high school serving grades 7-12 in Midland, Texas, part of the Midland Independent School District. With just 18 students, the school faces significant academic challenges, including low test scores, high dropout rates, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Midland Alternative Program's test scores lag far behind both the district and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 11.43% of 7th graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 41.85% for the district and 51.69% for the state. The school also has high dropout rates, ranging from 2.5% to 3.4% in recent years, higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, 64.29% to 77.78% of Midland Alternative Program's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Similarly, Permian High School and Alter Educational Center from the neighboring Ector County ISD outperform Midland Alternative Program on most metrics, as does Greenwood High School from the Greenwood ISD.
