Summary:
The city of Pearsall, Texas is home to 4 schools in the Pearsall Independent School District (ISD), including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. However, the data reveals that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across a range of academic metrics.
The student population in Pearsall ISD is predominantly Hispanic, making up over 92% of the student body. The schools serve a high-need population, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 79.87% to 90.58%. On standardized tests, students at Pearsall High School, Pearsall J.H., and Pearsall Intermediate scored significantly below the state average, with proficiency rates as low as 8.33% in 6th grade Math. The district as a whole is ranked 883 out of 968 school districts in Texas, indicating poor overall performance.
Despite the challenges, the data does not reveal any clear standout schools in the Pearsall ISD. All schools in the district appear to be struggling, with low test scores, graduation rates slightly below the state average, and high dropout rates. Addressing the systemic issues faced by these schools will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a focus on equity and inclusion to support the predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population.
