Summary:
The Columbia-Brazoria Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 517 out of 968 school districts in Texas and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Among the schools, West Columbia Elementary stands out with the highest statewide ranking in the district, ranking 2131 out of 4675 Texas elementary schools and receiving a 3-star rating. It also has relatively strong 5th-grade reading proficiency at 60.18%, higher than the district and state averages. The lone middle school, West Brazos J H, also impresses with 89.13% of students scoring proficient or better on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, significantly higher than the district and state averages.
While the district has some bright spots, there are also areas for improvement. Columbia High School has a strong 95.9% four-year graduation rate, but the schools generally lag behind state averages in math and reading proficiency, particularly in the earlier grades. Additionally, the schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.52% to 82.9%, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Addressing these disparities could be an important focus for the district moving forward.
