What stands out about Alice ISD

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +16.5% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Texas's statewide +10.1% by 6.4 points, a growth rate faster than 61% of the 1,015 Texas districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 4,940 to 4,506 students (8.8% down) across FY2019–FY2023 while the instructional salary pool per teacher went up. Districts on that path are usually holding staffing steady against a falling roll, which lifts the per-teacher figure without anyone getting a raise, so read this page's salary estimate alongside the enrolment line rather than on its own.
