Summary

Pearl M Hirsch Elementary is a PK-5 school in Spring, TX, serving 630 students within the Spring Independent School District (Isd), and it is currently in the midst of a promising turnaround after years of low performance.

The most important thing to know about Hirsch is its dramatic upward trajectory. After ranking in the bottom 20-25% of Texas elementary schools for nearly a decade, the school jumped to the 43rd percentile in 2025-2026—its highest ranking in over ten years. This is a sharp contrast to nearby schools like Smith Elementary and Gloria Marshall Elementary, which are trending downward. Hirsch is particularly effective with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 64th percentile statewide for serving this group—a remarkable feat given that over 80% of its students qualify for free/reduced lunch. The school’s 4th-grade math scores are a standout, with 61.84% of students proficient, well above both the district average (42.28%) and the state average (49.28%). This strength is not seen in nearby schools like Carolee Booker Elementary (51.33%) or Smith (53.66%).

However, challenges remain. Science is a critical weakness, with only 6.38% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, far below the state average of 29.57%. The school also struggles with its English Language Learner population, ranking in the bottom 19% of the state. Interestingly, the nearby Sam Houston State University Charter School (just 0.64 miles away) is a top-performing school (83rd percentile), achieving proficiency rates 20-30 points higher in every subject. Hirsch’s recent gains are likely due to changes in instructional strategy or leadership, as its per-student spending ($11,128) is middle-of-the-pack compared to peers like Mildred Jenkins Elementary ($12,293) and Ginger McNabb Elementary ($10,408). The key will be sustaining this momentum and closing the gap with the charter school down the road.
