Schallert El, Alice TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Schallert El

Schallert Elementary in Alice, Texas is a regular public school serving prekindergarten through fifth grade in a small South Texas city. The school sits within Alice Independent School District, which recently completed a consolidation that reduced its campuses from nine to six; Schallert is among the elementary schools that remained open and continues to serve a substantial share of the district's youngest learners.

The school enrolls a modest-sized population across its grade span, with enrollment distributed fairly evenly from pre-K through grade five. A very large share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting economic conditions in the area. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with small numbers of white, Asian, and multiracial students; data on the English learner population and students receiving special education was not available.

Alice's housing market centers on established ranch-style homes; median home values in the area are below the state benchmark. The wider community is a small South Texas city serving as a regional trade hub, with an economy anchored in oil and gas, cattle ranching and agribusiness, healthcare, retail, and education. The city has pursued gradual reinvestment, including new housing built with tax credits and recent commercial additions, though the overall population has declined modestly over decades.

In state testing, Schallert's results show uneven performance across grades and subjects. In English language arts across grades three through five, proficiency rates hover in the mid-to-high range, with third graders performing strongest. Math results are comparatively weaker: third graders show solid proficiency, but fourth and fifth grades dip noticeably lower. Science proficiency at fifth grade is notably low; a parent may want to look into this further with the school, as it represents a significant gap from language arts and math performance. Across all tested subjects and grades combined, the school's proficiency index places it in the top quartile among districts in Jim Wells County, the comparison set available. This positions Schallert above the midpoint of its county peers, though it reflects variation within the school rather than uniform strength across all areas.

The school received state testing data in English and math at grades three through five, and science at grade five only, as those are the grades Texas assesses. No data on graduation rate, chronic absenteeism, or overall attendance was provided, as these metrics do not apply to an elementary school. The school's capacity to serve students' broader needs—such as counseling, intervention, English learner support, or special education services—was not detailed in available information.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
