Summary:
Brazos Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one elementary school, Brazos Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1699 out of 4581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 2693 out of 4675 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars out of 5 in the last two school years.
Academically, Brazos Elementary's reading proficiency rates are mixed, with 3rd and 4th graders performing above the state average but 5th graders falling below. However, the school's math and science proficiency rates are consistently below the state average across all grades. This suggests room for improvement in these subject areas. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 73.37% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may present unique challenges and resource needs.
On a positive note, Brazos Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6, which is lower than the state average, indicating smaller class sizes that could potentially lead to more personalized attention and support for students. However, the school's overall declining performance and academic challenges, combined with the high poverty concentration, suggest the need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to support student success and help them reach their full potential.
