Alice W Douse Elementary

Killeen is a military town through and through, home to families connected to nearby Fort Cavazos, and Douse Elementary reflects that transient but tight-knit community spirit. The school serves a diverse student body that brings together kids from all walks of life, which can be a genuinely enriching experience even if academic test scores sit below the state midpoint. Families who prioritize a welcoming, inclusive environment and appreciate the resilience that comes with military community life may find Douse a comfortable fit, especially knowing that Killeen ISD offers pathways to stronger academic options as kids move up through the grades.
