School Overview

Palestine is a small East Texas town with deep roots and a tight-knit community feel, and Southside Elementary reflects that same close-to-home character. The school shows more strength in math than English, making it a reasonable fit for families who value numeracy and are open to supplementing reading skills at home. Families who appreciate a smaller-town environment where kids are known by name — rather than lost in the crowd — may find Southside a comfortable, familiar place to learn.
