Summary:
The Pearsall Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Pearsall J H, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is consistently below the state average across various subjects and grade levels, and its statewide ranking has been declining over the past few years.
Pearsall J H has a 1.0% dropout rate, which is relatively low. However, the school's proficiency rates in core subjects like reading, mathematics, science, and social studies are significantly lower than the state averages. For example, in reading, the school's proficiency rates range from 25.76% to 39.53%, compared to the state average of 51.69% to 56.39%. Similarly, in mathematics, the school's proficiency rates range from 15.27% to 35.16%, compared to the state average of 31.12% to 44.81%. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 82.43% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the higher spending per student at $10,949, which is above the state average, and a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.7, Pearsall J H's academic performance remains below the state average. This suggests that the school may not be effectively allocating its resources to improve student outcomes. The school's declining performance and the need to focus on improving instructional practices and student support in core subject areas should be the focus of further analysis and targeted interventions.
