Summary:
The city of Brazoria, Texas, is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 1 middle school, serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The data reveals a mix of academic performance, with some standout schools like West Brazos J H and Barrow Elementary, as well as persistent underperformance at Wild Peach Elementary.
West Brazos J H stands out as the highest-performing school, with the highest student enrollment, the highest percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Algebra I End of Course exams, and a low dropout rate. Barrow Elementary also performs well, with the second-highest student enrollment and the highest percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR 5th Grade Mathematics. In contrast, Wild Peach Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to its academic underperformance.
The data also highlights potential equity concerns, as the schools in the Columbia-Brazoria Independent School District (Isd) have a high percentage of students from low-income families, ranging from 65.24% to 82.9% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that further investigation may be needed to understand the underlying factors contributing to the socioeconomic disparities and their impact on student achievement across the district.
