Summary

Pease Communications/Technology Academy is a PK-6 elementary school in the Midland Independent School District (Isd) serving 547 students in a community where 72% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school consistently earns a 2-star rating from Schooldigger, placing it in the 42nd percentile statewide—a solid, middle-of-the-pack performance that is particularly impressive given the high level of economic disadvantage among its students.

Pease stands out for its remarkable support of English Language Learners, ranking in the 58th percentile statewide for this subgroup and earning 3 stars. Its Spanish-language STAAR results are a consistent bright spot, with 50% of 4th graders proficient in Spanish Reading compared to just 34% statewide. The school also shows a notable strength in 6th-grade mathematics, where 44% of students were proficient—above the state average of 39%. Perhaps most encouraging is the dramatic turnaround for "At Risk" students, who jumped from the 14th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 81st percentile by 2021-2022, suggesting effective interventions are making a real difference for the school's most vulnerable learners.

When compared to nearby schools, Pease occupies a unique middle ground. It significantly outperforms demographically similar schools like Ralph Bunche Elementary (12th percentile) and De Zavala Elementary (22nd percentile), while trailing magnet programs like Carver Center (100th percentile) and James Bowie Fine Arts Academy (89th percentile) that serve far fewer economically disadvantaged students. The school manages a competitive student-teacher ratio of 18.7 despite below-average per-student spending, and its main area for growth is a persistent gender gap where male students outperform female students academically.
