About Alvin ISD
Alvin ISD enrolls 29,740 students across 35 schools in Texas. Of those 35 campuses, 32 carry a MySchoolScout ranking, and they average 6.8 out of 10 across the board. That district average is the baseline — it shows how much the top-performing campuses pull away from the middle of the pack.
Glenn York Elementary leads every school in the district with an 8.4 out of 10 — 1.6 points above the 6.8 average and the highest score in Alvin ISD. Don Jeter Elementary, Pomona Elementary, and Shadow Creek High School each earn an 8.1, forming a strong second tier. Manvel High School closes out the top five at 7.8. Every school in that top tier sits at least a full point above the district mean. That gap makes school assignment a real decision variable for families evaluating Alvin ISD neighborhoods.
The composition of the top five is worth noting. Two high schools — Shadow Creek and Manvel — appear alongside three elementary campuses. For families planning a full K–12 path within the district, that alignment matters. Students who start at Glenn York or Don Jeter can continue into comparably strong secondary campuses without leaving Alvin ISD. The performance pipeline holds across grade levels.
With 29,740 students and 35 campuses, Alvin ISD has the scale of a growing Texas suburban system. The spread across its 32 ranked schools reflects a district still building capacity in newer attendance zones. Parents should identify their zoned campus before settling on a neighborhood. A 6.8 district average and an 8.4 top score represent real differences in student outcomes — and zoning lines in a district this size can place families on either side of that gap.
