Summary

Fisher Elementary in Pasadena, TX, is a PK-4 school serving 566 students in the Pasadena Independent School District (Isd), operating in a high-poverty area where over 84% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Fisher Elementary shows a clear strength in its Spanish-language instruction, with students taking the Spanish STAAR math test consistently scoring far above district and state averages—for example, 58.82% proficient in 4th grade math compared to 29.41% statewide. However, the school faces significant challenges in its English-language programs, where scores are well below district and state averages, such as only 25.37% proficiency in 4th grade math versus 49.28% statewide. There is also a growing gender achievement gap, with female students ranking in the 32nd percentile and male students in the 11th percentile. The school’s overall state ranking has been highly volatile, dropping from a 57th percentile (3-star rating) in 2024-2025 to a 20th percentile (1-star rating) in 2025-2026, a sharp decline that warrants investigation into possible changes in curriculum, staffing, or student cohort.

Nearby Sparks Elementary, just 1.74 miles away, serves a similar demographic but ranks in the 75th percentile (4 stars), consistently outperforming Fisher in English STAAR subjects—for instance, 65.96% proficient in 4th grade math versus Fisher’s 25.37%. This contrast shows that high poverty does not have to dictate low performance, and Fisher could look to Sparks as a benchmark. Additionally, Fisher’s per-student spending ($12,516) is higher than several better-performing nearby schools, suggesting the issue is not funding but how resources are used. The school has a successful model in its own Spanish program and a high-performing peer nearby, providing clear pathways for potential improvement.
