The Terrell Independent School District has two alternative schools, Terrell Alternative Education Center/Phoenix School and Tisd Child & Adolescent School, which serve a small number of students but have even lower academic performance and rankings than Terrell High School. The school's diverse student population, high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and lower performance compared to nearby schools suggest the need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to improve student outcomes.
