Summary

Pearsall Intermediate in Pearsall, TX, serves 442 students in grades 3 through 5 within the Pearsall Independent School District (Isd), a district facing significant socioeconomic challenges with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, though it has shown a slight upward trend, rising from the 3rd percentile to the 8th percentile in the most recent year.

Compared to nearby schools like Dilley Elementary and Ted Flores Elementary, Pearsall Intermediate stands out for its higher student-to-teacher ratio of 20.7:1, which is significantly larger than Dilley Elementary's 11.8:1 and Ted Flores's 16.9:1. This suggests larger class sizes that may hinder individualized instruction. Despite this, the school spends more per student ($11,882) than both peers, indicating resources are allocated but not translating into proportional academic gains. A notable weakness is 5th-grade Science, where only 13.08% of students are proficient, less than half the state average and far below Dilley Elementary's 23.64% proficiency rate. The school also shows extreme volatility in serving subgroups like Special Education students, whose ranking fluctuated from the 20th to the 53rd percentile and back to the 11th percentile in recent years.

On a positive note, Pearsall Intermediate performs relatively well with English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the 49th percentile in 2023-2024, which is its strongest area and suggests effective programs for this population. However, the school faces a "Gifted and Talented" paradox, where its ranking for these students plummeted from the 78th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 7th percentile by 2021-2022, indicating a dramatic decline in challenging high-achievers. While the school's overall performance remains critically low, the slight improvement in state ranking and strength in ELL outcomes offer glimmers of hope, suggesting that targeted changes may be starting to have a marginal effect.
