Summary:
The Brazosport Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 17 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district as a whole is ranked 518 out of 968 districts in Texas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
A few schools stand out in the district, including Bess Brannen Elementary, which is ranked 339 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools and has a 5-star rating, and Gladys Polk Elementary, which is ranked 552 out of 4,675 and has a 4-star rating. Both schools have impressive test scores, with over 60% of 3rd and 4th graders proficient or better in reading. Additionally, Lake Jackson Intermediate, a middle school ranked 701 out of 2,361 Texas middle schools with a 4-star rating, has strong performance with over 60% of 8th graders proficient or better in reading and math.
However, the district also faces significant challenges, with wide gaps in performance between the top-performing and lower-performing schools. Schools with high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, such as O'Hara Lanier Elementary at 91.76%, tend to struggle academically. The district's alternative high school, Brazos Success Academy, also has very low test scores and a high dropout rate, highlighting the need for more support and resources for alternative education programs.
