Summary:

Pease Middle is a public middle school located in San Antonio, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 813 students. The school is part of the Northside Independent School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, and Pease Middle has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools with a 1-star rating.

Pease Middle faces significant challenges, particularly in its academic performance. The school consistently underperforms the district and state averages on STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in reading ranging from 33.2% to 43.44% and math proficiency rates ranging from 7.59% to 31.58%, compared to the district's and state's higher averages. Pease Middle's performance is especially low for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education student subgroups, which rank in the bottom 20-25% of Texas middle schools. Additionally, the school has experienced relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 0.2% to 1.0%, which are higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby middle schools within the Northside Independent School District, such as Rayburn Middle, Jones Middle, and Jordan Middle, Pease Middle consistently underperforms on academic measures. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, at 80.93%, likely contributes to the challenges it faces in improving educational outcomes for its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote If you have the choice do not let your child attend here. Terrible teachers, lots of fights, no organization. This is the worst school. Close Quote

Open Quote I go to this poor excuse of what they call a "school" Monday-Friday. Some of the teachers everyone hates , even us smart kids. the teachers are also blind to what happens right in front of them. Buildings are pretty old and poorly designed, I'm pretty sure this school has asbestos still in it. Lots of drug deals, fights and other things at this school. The football field is covered in weeds and has dried out spots.

So overall this school is horrible and really needs to be improved

Open Quote When my child goes to an administrator about being bullied 4 times by the same individual, the administrator should do something to stop it.nothing was ever done and it continued to happen for months until I taught my daughter physically how to defend herself & told her to do so! You're supposed to protect the children from being bullied and it's not being done asst pease that's for sure! When someone places an order for a specific size for an item sold at the school give it to them. Don't give my child a different size which has happened every single time because you think your my child's mother & can make that decision on what size she wears! Both times in which they were wrong by the way!Stop injuring children on the bus because you can't hire competent bus drivers and they drive terrible causing injuries to students, twice in which was to my daughter. Worry more about giving the children an education than policing them! This school treats kids like convicts, not students! I will hopefully not have to subject my daughter to this poor excuse of a school next year. Close Quote

Open Quote Teachers are working hard to educate students who are rude, unmannerly, disrespectful of other students, teachers and the school in general. Students throw trash on the floor, vandalize computer equipment, skip classes, fight, bully and more. Parent support is almost unheard of. Administration changes may help some but without parental support such as disciplining their children, enforces study time, bed time, tv time etc then they are fighting a losing cause. Close Quote

Open Quote This school has a terrible problem with bullying and a very un-responsive administration. They are good at platitudes but poor at action. The teachers are gone more than they are there. There are few days that go by that my daughter doesn't have a substitute in at least one class. The language used by the kids waiting outside the school is deplorable, and ignored. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
