Summary

Pease Elementary in Odessa, TX, is a PK-5 school in the Ector County Independent School District (Isd) serving 621 students in a high-poverty community, where over 83% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has shown a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the 0th percentile in 2015-2016 to the 24th percentile in 2025-2026, earning its first 1-star rating in years. This upward trend is the most defining characteristic of the school's recent history, setting it apart from some nearby schools like Burnet Elementary, which has seen its ranking decline from the 14th to the 5th percentile in recent years.

Pease's strongest differentiator is its exceptional performance in bilingual (Spanish) education. While English-language STAAR scores are generally below state and district averages, Spanish-language scores often outperform both. For example, in 3rd grade math (2025-2026), Pease scored 52.63% proficient, nearly double the state average of 27.28%. This pattern holds across multiple grades and subjects, with no other nearby school showing such consistent excellence in Spanish-language assessments. The school is also particularly effective at supporting English Language Learners (ELL), ranking in the 31st percentile for this subgroup in 2024-2025, earning a 2-star rating. Additionally, the school's Gifted and Talented program has seen a dramatic turnaround, jumping from the 3rd percentile in 2017-2018 to the 39th percentile in 2025-2026.

Despite its progress, Pease still faces challenges compared to its highest-performing neighbor, San Jacinto Elementary, which is only 0.77 miles away and serves a similar student population. San Jacinto consistently outperforms Pease in English-language assessments, such as 3rd grade reading (50% vs. 36.23%) and 5th grade math (49.04% vs. 24.19%). Interestingly, Pease achieves its upward trajectory with lower per-student spending ($9,781) compared to schools like Lamar Early Ee-Kg ($16,280) and Gale Pond Alamo Elementary ($12,298), suggesting efficient use of resources. For parents considering Pease, the school offers a strong bilingual program and a clear path of improvement, though English-language instruction still has room to grow.
