Summary:
The Palacios Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools: Central Elementary and East Side Intermediate. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are located in a community with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at both schools.
While East Side Intermediate has a higher statewide ranking compared to Central Elementary, its ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, suggesting inconsistent academic performance. Additionally, both schools generally perform at or below the Palacios ISD and Texas state averages in standardized test scores, particularly in reading, math, and science proficiency across grades 3-5.
The data also reveals differences in student-teacher ratios between the two schools, with Central Elementary having a higher ratio of 15.3 students per teacher compared to 12.7 students per teacher at East Side Intermediate. This variation in staffing and resource allocation within the district may be an area of interest for further investigation and potential improvement.
