Iltexas Pearland Elementary

Iltexas Pearland Elementary is a public charter school in Pearland, TX, serving 602 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, and is part of the International Leadership Of Texas (Iltexas) district.

While the school has shown notable improvement—jumping from the 19th to the 34th percentile statewide in the last year—its academic performance remains significantly lower than most nearby schools. For example, just a quarter-mile away, Shadycrest Elementary ranks in the 94th percentile. Math proficiency at Iltexas Pearland is roughly half that of high-performing neighbors like Magnolia Elementary and Zue S Bales Intermediate. A bright spot is 4th-grade reading, where 54% of students met proficiency—slightly above the state average. However, 5th-grade science is a major concern, with only 4% of students proficient compared to the state average of 30%. The school serves a population where 60% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, and its student-teacher ratio of 13.9:1 is favorable, yet this hasn't translated into test scores on par with nearby traditional public schools.

Performance for special education students is persistently low, ranking in the 13th percentile. The school's improvement is encouraging, but it still has a long way to go to match the high performance of most schools in the Pearland Independent School District (Isd) and Friendswood Independent School District (Isd). Parents should weigh the school's recent progress and smaller class sizes against its overall low academic standing compared to other options in the area.
