Alvin Independent School District is a school district based in Alvin, Texas, U.S.

Alvin ISD is a large suburban school district south of Houston which includes the following areas: the majority of Alvin, Manvel, Hillcrest, Iowa Colony, Liverpool, and portions of Pearland.[4] It also serves Amsterdam and some areas with Rosharon postal addresses. AISD serves Pearland city's rapidly growing western portion of the city including the new large master-planned communities of Shadow Creek Ranch, South Fork, and Southern Trails. Alvin ISD covers 252 square miles (650 km2) of land.

Academic achievement

[edit]

In 2011, the school district was rated "Recognized" by the Texas Education Agency.[5] Forty-nine percent of districts in Texas in 2011 received the same rating.[6] No state accountability ratings will be given to districts in 2012.[7] A school district in Texas can 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).

District Realignment

[edit]

Beginning with the 2008–2009 school year, Alvin Independent School District was realigned the following way: Sister schools (Alvin Primary School/Alvin Elementary School; Stevenson Primary School/Walt Disney Elementary School; and Mark Twain Primary School/Longfellow Elementary School) became grades PK-2 and 3–5. All other elementary schools were changed to grades PK-5 with 6th grade being transitioned to the Junior High level across the district. The two alternative schools were not affected by this realignment.

In November 2010, a School Boundary Advisory Committee began work on a new plan to realign the school zones to better balance the student populations and accommodate a new elementary school opening in August 2011 and a new junior high opening in 2012.
