Elementary Schools in Pettus Independent School District (Isd)

Summary:

The Pettus Elementary is the sole elementary school serving the Pettus Independent School District (Isd) in Texas. With a small student population of 185, the school has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 75.68%, indicating a predominantly low-income student body.

Pettus Elementary's academic performance has been mixed compared to state averages. While the school's 4th and 5th grade reading proficiency rates have been higher than the state in some years, its 3rd grade reading and all math proficiency rates have generally been lower. Additionally, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate has been below the state average. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 2,222 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 3,036 out of 4,651 in 2024-2025, suggesting inconsistent performance.

Despite the school's mixed academic outcomes, it appears to have adequate funding and staffing resources, with a per-student spending of $12,903 and a student-teacher ratio of 11.6 for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school may need to focus on improving its instructional practices and student support to raise proficiency levels across all grade levels and subject areas and provide a more consistent educational experience for its students.
