Summary

Beasley Elementary in Beasley, TX, is a PK-5 campus within the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District that serves 453 students in a small, high-poverty community where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

After years of solid, mid-tier performance, Beasley Elementary has experienced a sudden and dramatic academic decline. The school dropped from a 3-star rating (65th percentile) in 2024-2025 to a 1-star rating (24th percentile) in 2025-2026—a 41-percentile-point collapse not seen in nearby schools. This decline is especially puzzling because Beasley had a strong track record of success with its most vulnerable students, ranking in the 83rd percentile for low-income students just a few years ago. Now, those same groups have fallen to the 21st percentile, suggesting a recent disruption like a change in leadership or loss of key staff. The school's deficits in core subjects are severe: 3rd-grade Math proficiency (28%) is 27 points below the district average, and 4th-grade Reading (37%) is 28.5 points below. While nearby schools like Jackson Elementary and Meyer Elementary are trending upward, Beasley has cratered, and it shares similar struggles with Travis Elementary, another high-poverty LCISD school.

Despite the overall picture, there are a few bright spots. 5th-grade Math remains a relative strength, with 54.67% of students proficient—above the state average of 47.38%. Additionally, White students at Beasley rank in the 70th percentile, a stark contrast to the school's overall 24th percentile ranking, indicating the decline is not uniform across all student groups. The school's per-student spending ($11,880) is in the middle of the pack compared to peers, despite serving the highest poverty rate in the area—for context, Jackson Elementary has a lower poverty rate (58%) but spends significantly more ($14,732). Beasley's own history proves it can be effective; the urgent question is what changed to cause this dramatic reversal.
