Summary

Shirley Dill Brothers Elementary in Pearland, TX, is a high-performing school serving 665 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Alvin Independent School District (Isd), consistently ranking in the top 5% of all Texas elementary schools (96th percentile) and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for four consecutive years.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic results, particularly in mathematics. For example, 5th-grade math proficiency reached 76.74% in the 2025-2026 school year, dramatically higher than the district average (55.45%) and state average (47.38%), and surpassing nearby peers like Don Jeter Elementary (47.06%) and Red Duke Elementary (51.82%). It is the highest-ranked school in its immediate vicinity within Alvin ISD, outperforming excellent neighbors like Glenn York Elementary (94th percentile) and Pomona Elementary (94th percentile), and is only surpassed by Silvercrest Elementary (100th percentile) in the neighboring Pearland Independent School District (Isd). The school also demonstrates a notable ability to support African American students, ranking in the top 3% of the state for this subgroup.

Brothers Elementary achieves these results with efficient resource management, spending slightly less per student ($9,050) than lower-performing district peers like Red Duke ($10,474) and Don Jeter ($9,997). The school serves a relatively affluent community, with only about 19% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and maintains a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 15.3:1. While the school excels overall, it shows slightly weaker performance for its highest-achieving students and economically disadvantaged students compared to other top-tier schools. A notable district-wide issue saw 5th-grade math scores drop dramatically in 2024-2025, but the school's strong recovery to 76.74% in 2025-2026 suggests the problem was resolved.
