Summary:
In zip code 75925, there is one elementary school, Alto Elementary, which serves grades PK through 4 in the rural community of Alto, Texas, as part of the Alto Independent School District (Isd).
With 207 students, Alto Elementary is a small school that has shown significant performance swings. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school achieved a 49th percentile state ranking, but dropped to the 28th percentile in 2025-2026. This volatility is most evident in 3rd grade, where reading proficiency fell from 56.25% to 33.33% and math proficiency dropped from 53.13% to 38.89% year-over-year. The school serves a high-needs population, with 72.95% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch. A persistent challenge is 4th grade math, where proficiency has remained at 36.36% for two consecutive years, consistently lagging behind the state average by 9 to 13 points.
The school spends $11,899 per student, which is above the typical Texas state average, yet academic outcomes generally fall below state benchmarks. For example, in 2025-2026, 3rd grade reading proficiency was 17.75 points below the state average, and 4th grade math was 12.92 points below. The school's 14.8:1 student-teacher ratio is favorable, but the disconnect between spending and results suggests a need to examine how resources are allocated. Despite these challenges, the 2024-2025 performance shows the school is capable of strong results, making the subsequent decline a key area for investigation.
