Alice Independent School District is a public school district based in Alice, Texas, United States. In addition to Alice, the district also serves the communities of Alice Acres, Amargosa, Coyote Acres, Owl Ranch, Rancho Alegre, and portions of Loma Linda East and Ben Bolt.[7]

Finances

As of the 2010-2011 school year, the appraised valuation of property in the district was $1,086,514,000.[1] The maintenance tax rate was $0.104 and the bond tax rate was $0.026 per $100 of appraised valuation.[1]

Academic achievement

In 2025, the school district was given an overall rating of "B" based on a "scaled score" of 80[8] by the Texas Education Agency.

In 2017, the 85th Session of the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 22 (H.B. 22), which implemented a new "A-F Accountability Ratings" system.[9] This marked a departure from the naming conventions associated with the previous system, instead standardizing a "scaled score" into conventional letter grades, with A being an outstanding rating and F being a failing rating.[10] Prior to the implementation of the new rating system in 2017, a school district in Texas could receive one of four possible rankings from the Texas Education Agency: Exemplary (the highest possible ranking), Recognized, Academically Acceptable, and Academically Unacceptable (the lowest possible ranking).

During the COVID-19 Pandemic, all Texas school districts were given a rating of "Not Rated: Declared State of Disaster" in accordance with the TEA's Accountability Manual.[11][12]

In 2011, the school district was rated "Academically Acceptable." Forty-nine percent of districts in Texas in 2011 received the same rating.[13] No state accountability ratings were given to districts in 2012.[14]
