Summary:
The three public schools in zip code 76225, serving approximately 844 students in the Alvord Independent School District (Isd), form a cohesive and high-performing educational pipeline from elementary through high school, with the district itself earning a top 23% ranking in Texas.
Alvord Elementary excels at building a strong academic foundation, particularly in 3rd grade where 67.74% of students are proficient in reading and 62.9% in math—both well above state averages. However, math proficiency declines in later elementary grades, dropping to 33.82% by 5th grade, suggesting a potential area for improvement. Alvord Middle stands out as a math acceleration champion, with 100% of its 8th graders taking Algebra I achieving proficiency, far exceeding state averages. The middle school also shows strong 6th and 7th grade math scores but consistently struggles with 8th grade Social Studies, scoring below the state average. Alvord High School is the academic powerhouse, boasting a 98.1% graduation rate, a 0.0% dropout rate, and test scores that consistently beat state averages in subjects like Biology and English. Its low 9:1 student-teacher ratio supports individualized attention.
Key metrics include favorable student-teacher ratios across all schools (ranging from 9:1 to 13.2:1) and per-student spending between $10,691 and $13,336. The district shows a positive upward trend in state rankings over the last three years. While the elementary school has a higher percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch (42.11%) compared to the middle school (31.87%), the overall pipeline from strong elementary foundations to middle school math acceleration and high school success indicates a well-aligned curriculum and effective teaching across all grade levels.
