Summary:
The city of Wallis, Texas is home to two schools serving grades 6-12: Brazos High School and Brazos Middle, both part of the Brazos Independent School District (Isd). While Brazos Middle has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Texas middle schools and maintained a 4-star rating, Brazos High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping to the bottom 50% of Texas high schools despite still holding a 3-star rating.
Brazos Middle School stands out as a high-performing institution, outperforming state and district averages on STAAR test scores, particularly in reading and math. The school also boasts an impressive 0% dropout rate. In contrast, Brazos High School's test scores are generally below state and district averages, which may be contributing to its declining ranking. Both schools serve a significant population of students from low-income families, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
The data suggests that Brazos Middle School is effectively serving its students and providing a quality education, while Brazos High School may benefit from a closer examination of its academic performance and resource allocation to better support its students. The difference in spending per student between the two schools, with Brazos High spending $3,202 more per student, does not appear to be directly correlated with better academic outcomes at the high school level.
