Contents

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. [3] 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

In 2011, the school district was rated "Recognized" by the Texas Education Agency. [4] Forty-nine percent of districts in Texas in 2011 received the same rating. [5] No state accountability ratings will be given to districts in 2012. [6] 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

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.
