Summary

Eastside Elementary in Cleveland, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 867 students within the Cleveland Independent School District (Isd), a district that faces significant challenges but where this school is showing promising signs of improvement. Over 91% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school has historically ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Texas elementary schools. However, Eastside has made a notable upward climb in its state ranking over the past three years, moving from the 9th percentile to the 26th percentile, suggesting recent initiatives are having a positive impact.

One of the school's standout achievements is its 3rd-grade English reading performance, where 57.29% of students met proficiency—a rate that not only far exceeds the district average of 36.38% but also beats the state average of 51.08%. This is particularly impressive when compared to nearby schools in the more affluent Splendora Independent School District (Isd), such as Piney Woods Elementary (38.71%), Greenleaf Elementary (35.48%), and Peach Creek Elementary (29.58%). Eastside also shows strong support for African American students, who ranked in the 78th percentile statewide in 2023-2024, and English Language Learners, who rank in the 48th percentile—both significantly higher than the school's overall ranking.

Despite these bright spots, Eastside faces critical challenges. There is a dramatic drop in performance between 3rd and 4th grade, with 4th-grade reading proficiency falling to just 27.71%. Additionally, students taking the STAAR test in Spanish consistently score very low, with 3rd-grade reading in Spanish at only 20.59% proficiency, indicating struggles with bilingual instruction. Science scores are also a systemic issue across the district, with 5th-grade science proficiency stuck at 9% for two consecutive years. While Eastside spends more per student ($12,746) than its higher-performing Splendora neighbors, the key to future success will be replicating the strong 3rd-grade English reading program across all grades and subjects while urgently addressing the gaps in bilingual education and 4th-grade instruction.
