Original Research by School Decision on Caldwell Daep
Caldwell DAEP is no longer operating. The school was an alternative education program (DAEP) serving middle grades in Caldwell, a small county-seat town in Burleson County, Texas, but it has been marked inactive in state records.
The available data does not include enrollment figures, demographic breakdown, academic performance results, graduation rates, or attendance metrics for this school. Because the school is inactive and served an alternative education population (typically students referred to such programs due to disciplinary or other needs), some of these gaps reflect both the school's closed status and the nature of alternative programs, which fall outside standard state testing and accountability reporting.
Caldwell itself is a traditional Texas county seat of modest size, centered on a historic downtown and courthouse square, with a mix of longtime residents and young families. The town is experiencing growth tied to its location between Bryan/College Station and the Houston-Austin corridor; new subdivisions are under development and housing prices are rising, though most existing homes in town are older. The local economy centers on manufacturing, oil-related industries, and county government. Caldwell ISD as a whole operates four schools serving the district; the high school sits on the northern edge of town rather than in the downtown core.
For families who may have sought an alternative pathway or specialized program in the district, the closure of this DAEP means that placement or instruction would now be directed elsewhere within the district or to another jurisdiction's program. A parent or resident with questions about what alternative or disciplinary-education options remain available in Caldwell ISD should contact the district directly.
