Peaster Int, Weatherford TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Peaster Int

Peaster Intermediate serves fourth through sixth grade in the Weatherford area and is part of Peaster ISD, a smaller district in Parker County. With an enrollment of roughly four hundred students across three grade levels, it is a scaled, middle-range school for its band.

Test results show a school where performance hovers around the middle across tested subjects. In math, fourth grade outperforms the upper grades, with a meaningful share of students meeting proficiency, while performance flattens in fifth and sixth grade. English language arts is more consistent across grades, tracking in the middle ranges for all three levels. Fifth grade science shows a weaker proficiency rate, around half. When all subjects are pooled, the school sits in the top quartile of proficiency among districts in Parker County, a positioning that reflects a school performing solidly within its region but not commanding high attainment overall.

The student body is predominantly white with a minority Hispanic enrollment; a modest share of students qualify for free or reduced price lunch. Specific data on students with disabilities or English learners was not available. This composition and the school's size align it with rural and exurban settings serving the surrounding ranch and residential communities.

Weatherford itself is the seat of Parker County and historically a commercial hub for agriculture and ranching, though it is now growing rapidly as a Dallas-Fort Worth exurb. The city has added population substantially over the last several years and ranks among the nation's fastest-growing affordable suburbs. New construction and master-planned communities dot the landscape, and the city balances a walkable historic downtown courthouse square with car-oriented sprawl shaped by US Highway 51 and Interstate 20. Large employers include the school district, Medical City Weatherford hospital, Weatherford College, and retail and energy service firms. Housing values and rents are climbing, though remain below state and national benchmarks.

Peaster ISD, the parent district, encompasses parts of Parker County beyond the main city; district-level policy changes and strategic priorities were not readily available. The school itself offers no published program detail beyond standard fourth-through-sixth-grade instruction. Parents looking at this school should view it as a middle-of-the-range district campus serving a growing exurban community, with solid but not elevated proficiency, a stable student body, and a setting aligned to rural and suburban residential growth in the broader Weatherford area. A parent may want to look into the school's classroom resources, special services, and any planned expansions with the district directly, as growth is ongoing in the region.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
