Brazos School For Inquiry And Creativity Bryan/Col

Summary:

Brazos School For Inquiry And Creativity Bryan/Col is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Bryan, Texas, with a student population of 141 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces significant challenges, with a consistently low ranking among Texas elementary schools and below-average academic performance compared to state and district averages.

Brazos School For Inquiry And Creativity Bryan/Col has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. In contrast, nearby schools like Mitchell Elementary, Neal Elementary, and Sul Ross Elementary have higher rankings and 3-4 star ratings. The school's students generally perform below the state and Bryan Independent School District (Isd) averages on STAAR tests, particularly for Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, which ranges from $9,305 to $11,597 per student, the academic outcomes have not matched the investment. The nearby Arrow Academy - Save Our Streets Center, another public charter school, has outperformed Brazos School For Inquiry And Creativity Bryan/Col on several STAAR metrics, suggesting that the charter school model alone does not guarantee better academic outcomes. The school has also experienced a decline in enrollment and shifts in its racial composition, further highlighting the need for the school to identify and address the root causes of its underperformance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
