Summary:
The Alvarado Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has one middle school, Alvarado J H, which serves a diverse student population with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. While the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state average, it has maintained a relatively consistent 2-star rating and ranking over the past few years.
Alvarado J H has a student population that is 47.46% White and 45.44% Hispanic, with smaller percentages of African American, Asian, and Native American students. The school's dropout rate of 0.5% is lower than the state average, but its STAAR test scores in subjects like 6th grade reading (33.45% proficiency rate compared to the state average of 54.45%) suggest room for improvement in academic outcomes. The school's high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 66.86% indicates that it serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact academic performance and require additional support and resources.
Despite the academic underperformance, Alvarado J H has maintained a relatively consistent ranking of 1608 out of 2361 Texas middle schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's per-student spending of $9,461 is slightly above the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 15.3 is slightly lower than the state average, suggesting a relatively favorable classroom environment. Moving forward, the school may need to focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of the lower academic performance, as well as exploring strategies to better support its economically disadvantaged student population.
