Peaster Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Peaster Isd

Peaster ISD is a small district in Parker County with just over a thousand students across grades PK through twelve. The district operates four schools: an elementary building, an intermediate school, a junior high, and a high school. The area is predominantly white, with a meaningful Hispanic enrollment. Housing values in the district's service area have appreciated modestly, placing the area in the moderate-price range for Texas.

On state testing, Peaster's students show mixed results that vary considerably by grade and subject. In reading across the elementary and middle grades, proficiency rates cluster around the middle—stronger in grade five and eighth grade, where about six in ten students meet grade-level standards, but weaker in grades three and four, where rates dip into the low fifties or below. Math proficiency is similar overall: grade four performs relatively well, but grades three, six, seven, and eight fall into the fifty-percent range or below. Science and social studies are measured in fewer grades. Science in grades five and eight sits around the high-forty to low-fifty percent mark. Social studies in eighth grade presents a notably lower result, with only about one-quarter of students meeting standards.

When the district's proficiency index across all tested subjects is compared to other Parker County districts, Peaster ranks above the midpoint, though the county includes higher-performing systems. The district's chronic absenteeism rate, at just above one in ten students, is somewhat better than the county median, suggesting reasonable attendance stability.

Per-pupil spending in Peaster is in the lower-middle range for the county. The district's recent strategic initiatives or major programmatic changes were not available from public sources, so a parent interested in understanding current district priorities may want to contact the district directly. High school course offerings and graduation data were not included in the available information; parents of high school students should inquire about pathways and completion rates.

Peaster serves a district population with stable roots in the area. The district's size and rural character mean families experience a tight-knit school environment with direct access to staff. The test results suggest the district is working with a student population that includes learners at varying proficiency levels, and academic support resources may be an important consideration for some families.
