Summary

Southside Elementary in Angleton, TX, is a PK-5 school in the Angleton Independent School District (Isd) that serves 304 students and has a high level of economic need, with 84.21% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This school stands out for its remarkable turnaround, climbing from the 26th percentile statewide in 2018-2019 to the 74th percentile in recent years, thanks to a low student-teacher ratio of 11.6:1 and high per-student spending of $12,524. Southside excels in 5th Grade Science, where 43.75% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 29.57%, and in upper elementary Math, with 4th graders scoring 55.1% proficient and 5th graders at 55.56% proficient.

What truly sets Southside apart is its exceptional performance with economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 88th percentile statewide for this subgroup in 2023-2024, despite having the highest poverty rate in the district. This shows the school is highly effective at closing the achievement gap. In comparison, nearby Westside Elementary (1.73 miles away) is larger with 1,029 students and a lower poverty rate of 69.87%, ranking in the 75th percentile overall. While Westside excels in 4th Grade Math (65.49% proficient), Southside matches or exceeds it in 5th Grade Math and significantly outperforms it in Science, demonstrating that Southside is competitive with a higher-ranked school in key areas.

However, Southside faces a notable challenge in 3rd Grade Reading, where only 40.48% of students are proficient, well below the district average of 52.1% and state average of 51.08%. This has been a persistent issue for the past three years. Additionally, performance for other subgroups, such as White Students and Special Education Students, has been mixed, suggesting the school may need to refine its approach for these groups. Overall, Southside is a high-impact school that effectively serves its community, with a primary area for future focus being early literacy to ensure all students build a strong foundation for success.
