East Side Intermediate

Public Grades

Summary

East Side Intermediate is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Palacios Independent School District (ISD) in Palacios, Texas, with a diverse student population of 275 students, predominantly Hispanic (73.45%).

While East Side Intermediate has shown mixed academic performance compared to state and district averages, with strengths in some areas like 4th and 5th grade reading and 4th grade math, the school has struggled in others like 3rd grade reading and 5th grade science. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with White and Asian students generally outperforming Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students. This suggests the school may need to focus on addressing achievement gaps and providing additional support for underperforming subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Markham Elementary and Blessing Elementary in the higher-performing Tidehaven ISD, East Side Intermediate's academic performance and ranking have been somewhat inconsistent, with the Tidehaven ISD schools generally outperforming East Side Intermediate, particularly in reading and math. This may be partly due to the higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students at East Side Intermediate.
