Alexander El

Alexander EL is a elementary school located in Houston, TX, serving grades -1–4 and approximately 676 students. Operated by Alief ISD, the campus sits about 9.0 miles from Bellaire News's newsroom and is part of Bellaire News's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 55 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 12.3:1. That ratio is below the state average for TX, generally an indicator of smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction.

Alexander EL is a traditional zoned public school within Alief ISD, meaning enrollment is generally tied to residence within the school's attendance boundary. Boundary maps and feeder patterns are published by the district and updated annually.

State accountability ratings for TEA are released annually and combine student achievement, growth, and closing-the-gaps metrics. Bellaire News publishes rating updates as soon as they become public each fall, with comparisons to nearby campuses and prior-year trends.

For families in Houston considering elementary placement, Alexander EL is one of the campuses Bellaire News regularly covers — including school board decisions, bond elections, and individual program changes that affect enrollment.
