Summary

Beasley Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Mesquite Independent School District (Isd), serving 319 students in a community where 67.4% qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school is a study in contrasts, with standout strengths in specific areas alongside significant challenges that parents should carefully consider.

Beasley’s most striking feature is the dramatic gap between 5th-grade subjects. In the most recent school year, 5th graders achieved a 66.67% proficiency rate in Reading—the highest among nearby schools like Kimball Elementary (40%) and Austin Elementary (54.9%). Yet the same students scored only 19.05% in Math, the lowest in the area. This 47.6-point gap is an extreme outlier, suggesting that while reading instruction excels, 5th-grade math is a crisis point that needs urgent attention. The school also shows inconsistent performance across grades, with 3rd-grade reading proficiency swinging from 67% to 36% in recent years—likely due to small class sizes where one cohort’s results heavily sway the data.

On the positive side, Beasley is a hidden gem for special education, ranking in the 75th percentile statewide and earning a 4-star rating—a remarkable achievement compared to its overall 33rd percentile ranking. The school has also shown rapid improvement for English Language Learners, jumping from the 29th to the 61st percentile. However, there is a concerning decline for African American students, who dropped from the 66th to the 17th percentile. For parents, Beasley offers targeted excellence in reading and special education, but the math struggles and inconsistent performance mean it’s essential to ask about specific support for 5th-grade math and how the school plans to replicate its reading success across all subjects.
