Summary:
Alvarado Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single high school, Alvarado High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's diverse student population includes 48.12% White, 44.54% Hispanic, and 3.41% African American students, with a high percentage (62.8%) of economically disadvantaged students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, Alvarado High School's performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams is mixed compared to district and state averages. While the school excels in U.S. History with a 71.82% proficiency rate, it struggles in Algebra I, where only 6.92% of students are proficient, significantly lower than the district (21.57%) and state (44.73%) averages. However, the school boasts a strong four-year graduation rate of 97.7% and a low dropout rate of 0.6%, indicating that it is effectively supporting students in completing their high school education.
With a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.3, Alvarado High School appears to have a good level of staffing resources, which may contribute to its positive graduation and dropout outcomes. However, the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggests that it may face unique challenges and resource needs that the Alvarado Independent School District will need to address to ensure all students have the support they need to succeed academically.
