Pearsall Intermediate

Summary:

Pearsall Intermediate is an elementary school in Pearsall, Texas, serving grades 3-5 with a student population of 427. The school is part of the Pearsall Independent School District, which is ranked 883 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pearsall Intermediate consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs. This is likely due to the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 80.09% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Compared to the nearby Dilley Elementary, which is in a different school district, Pearsall Intermediate performs significantly worse on STAAR tests.

However, the school's performance on STAAR tests for English Language Learners (ELL) is relatively stronger compared to other student subgroups, suggesting that the school may be providing effective support and interventions for its ELL population. This could serve as a model for improving outcomes for other student subgroups. Overall, Pearsall Intermediate faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, and the school and district will need to identify and address the root causes of the underperformance to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
