Summary

E C Brice Elementary is a K-4 school in Mount Pleasant, TX, serving 485 students within the Mount Pleasant Independent School District (Isd), and has shown a remarkable turnaround from a 2-star rating to a consistent 4-star rating in recent years.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of English Language Learners, ranking in the 76th percentile statewide for this subgroup in 2024-2025. On Spanish-language STAAR exams, E C Brice significantly outperforms both district and state averages—for example, 63.64% of 3rd graders were proficient in Reading compared to just 28.3% statewide. This is a clear differentiator from nearby schools like Frances Corprew Elementary, which scored only 32% on the same test. The school also excels in 3rd-grade mathematics, with 60% of students proficient versus 48.67% at Annie Sims Elementary and 36% at Vivian Fowler Elementary. Additionally, E C Brice ranks in the 91st percentile for Special Education students and the 86th percentile for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, demonstrating strong support for all learners.

Despite these strengths, the school faces a persistent "4th-grade slump," with proficiency dropping from 62% in 3rd-grade Reading to 52.38% in 4th grade. This pattern is less pronounced in Spanish-language assessments. Another notable weakness is the Gifted and Talented program, which ranks in the 16th percentile. While Annie Sims Elementary (the district's top performer) outperforms Brice in 4th-grade Reading and Math, E C Brice is a powerhouse for early math and Spanish-language instruction. A collaborative exchange of best practices between these two schools could benefit the entire district.
