Summary

Magnolia Elementary in Pearland, TX, is a highly-rated public school serving 703 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade as part of the top-performing Pearland Independent School District (Isd). This school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for seven of the last eight years, consistently ranking among the top 10% of all Texas elementary schools.

What truly sets Magnolia Elementary apart is its remarkable ability to drive high achievement for all students, particularly those from diverse backgrounds. The school excels at supporting students from economically disadvantaged households, ranking in the 94th to 96th percentile statewide for this group over the last three years. Its special education program has shown powerful improvement, jumping to the 96th percentile in recent years. Most notably, Magnolia is a top-tier performer for its African American students, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide. This "rising tide" effect—where specific student groups perform even better than the school's overall high rank—is a hallmark of an equitable and effective school. For context, the closest school by distance, H C Carleston Elementary, is a 2-star school in the 48th percentile, highlighting how dramatically school performance can vary within a small geographic area.

Academically, Magnolia shows particular strength in reading. Its 4th-grade reading proficiency rate of 81.46% significantly outpaced both the district average (70.38%) and the state average (53.73%) in a recent year. While math scores are also above average, the school's 3rd-grade math scores (61.7% proficient) present a potential area for growth compared to its stellar reading performance. Overall, Magnolia Elementary is a consistently excellent school that achieves outstanding results while serving a more economically diverse student body than many other top-ranked nearby schools, such as Silverlake Elementary, making its accomplishments particularly noteworthy for families seeking a strong, inclusive learning environment.
