Summary:
Beasley, Texas is home to a single public school, Beasley Elementary, which serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the highly-rated Lamar Consolidated Independent School District.
Beasley Elementary is currently in a state of acute academic crisis. After a strong 2024-2025 school year where it ranked in the 65th percentile statewide (3 stars), the school experienced a dramatic collapse, dropping to the 24th percentile (1 star) in the most recent data. This decline is reflected in every tested subject and grade level, with proficiency rates falling across the board. For example, 5th Grade Math proficiency plummeted from 79.31% to 54.67%, and 5th Grade Reading dropped from 66.07% to 45.33%. The school now underperforms both the district and state averages in every single subject, a complete reversal from the previous year when it was outperforming the state in several key areas.
The school serves a high-poverty community, with 82.34% of its 453 students eligible for free or reduced lunch. This makes the sudden and severe decline particularly concerning, as the school had previously demonstrated an ability to achieve strong results despite these challenges. The student-teacher ratio is 16.8, and spending per student is $11,880. The dramatic, school-wide drop suggests an acute issue—such as a change in curriculum, loss of key staff, or high student mobility—rather than a long-term trend. Immediate and intensive intervention is needed to diagnose the root cause and reverse this trend for the students of Beasley Elementary.
