Summary:
In zip code 78332, there is one high school, Alice High School, serving grades 9 through 12 in Alice, Texas, a community where over 86% of students are economically disadvantaged.
Alice High School is the sole high school in the area and is part of the Alice Independent School District (Isd). With 1,295 students and a student-teacher ratio of 18.1:1, the school has shown a clear positive trajectory in its state ranking, improving from the 26th percentile three years ago to the 39th percentile currently. This improvement is driven by dramatic year-over-year gains in test scores, such as Algebra I proficiency jumping from 29.66% to 48.06% and Biology from 49.84% to 60.07%. Despite this progress, the school still lags behind state averages in all core subjects, with the largest gaps in U.S. History (9.5 points below) and Biology (10.44 points below). The graduation rate stands at 86.4%, though the dropout rate of 3.3% is higher than the district average of 2.3%.
Notably, while Alice High School ranks in the 39th percentile among Texas high schools, the Alice Independent School District (Isd) itself ranks in the 52nd percentile among districts, suggesting that the district's overall performance is likely supported by stronger results at its elementary or middle schools. The school's spending per student is $12,060, and its consistent upward trend in both test scores and state ranking is a positive sign for families, indicating that recent efforts are yielding results even in a high-poverty context.
