While math scores are strong, they show notable year-over-year volatility, such as 6th-grade math dropping from 64.81% to 41.07% between school years, likely due to the small student population. Additionally, 8th-grade social studies proficiency (26.47%) lags behind the state average (31.69%), indicating a need for targeted support. Overall, Alvord Middle offers a close-knit learning environment with strong math and advanced coursework, but parents should be aware of the fluctuations in performance and the weaker social studies outcomes.
