In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.
History
By December 2015 the district had failed to meet academic standards for four years in a row. Nobert Rodriguez, the superintendent, stated that turnover among teachers and staff had caused student performance to decline. The teacher retention rate circa 2015 was 38%, and in 2012 the high school had five different principals.
In November 2015 the Texas Education Agency (TEA) announced that it had revoked the accreditation of Pearsall ISD. Pearsall ISD appealed the TEA's revocation of accreditation. If the appeal fails, the district will close on July 1, 2016.
