Pearland Independent School District is a school district based in Pearland, Texas, United States.

Pearland ISD serves most of the city of Pearland, the city of Brookside Village,[1] and unincorporated areas in Brazoria County (including Silverlake). A small portion of the district extends into Harris County.[2]

Each house or residential area in Pearland is zoned to an elementary school (grades PK-4), a middle school (5-6), a junior high school (7-8), and one of the two high schools (9-12).

Larry Berger was named the district's 11th superintendent in March 2022, after an internal search following the retirement of Dr. John P. Kelly. Berger officially became superintendent after board approval on April 12, 2022. Prior to his new position, Berger served Pearland ISD as assistant superintendent for support services for two years, was the director of the district's maintenance and operations department from 2016 to 2020, and as an administrator at Pearland High School from 2007 to 2016.

In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.[3]
