Summary

Allison L Steele E L C in Schertz, TX, is a small alternative high school serving 87 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Schertz-Cibolo-U City Independent School District (Isd), functioning as a disciplinary alternative education program or credit recovery school for students who have struggled in traditional settings.

This school is fundamentally different from nearby comprehensive high schools like Byron P Steele II High School (2,793 students) and Samuel Clemens High School (2,589 students). Its mission is not to compete on standardized test scores but to provide a flexible path to graduation for at-risk students. While proficiency rates are very low—for example, 0% in Algebra I compared to the district average of 46.87%—the school achieves a remarkable 92.0% graduation rate, only slightly below the district average of 93.7%. This "graduation rate paradox" shows the school effectively fulfills its purpose. The school also spends significantly more per student ($14,791) compared to larger district peers, reflecting the intensive support needed. Compared to the similar Judson Care Academy in nearby Judson ISD, Allison L Steele outperforms in graduation rate (92.0% vs. lower) and generally has higher test scores, such as 30% proficiency in English II versus Judson Care's 6.67%.

Key strengths include a low student-teacher ratio (7.8:1 in 2024-2025) allowing for individualized attention, and occasional excellence with subgroups like Special Education students, who ranked in the 97th percentile statewide in 2023-2024. However, the school faces challenges with a high dropout rate (2.9%, over four times the district average) and a sharp decline in performance with "At Risk Students," dropping from the 79th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 14th percentile by 2021-2022. Overall, Allison L Steele is a specialized institution that provides a vital second chance for students to earn a diploma, with its success best measured by its graduation rate rather than test scores.
