Brazos Success Academy

Summary:

Brazos Success Academy is a public high school in Lake Jackson, Texas, serving 107 students in grades 9-12. As part of the Brazosport Independent School District, which is ranked 518 out of 968 districts in the state, Brazos Success Academy faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools.

The school has a notably higher percentage of Hispanic students (67.29%) than surrounding schools, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Texas high schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Brazos Success Academy's graduation rates have fluctuated between 63.2% and 82.4% in recent years, lower than the 90%+ rates of nearby schools like Brazosport High School and Brazoswood High School. Additionally, the school has had relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 4.1% to 16.4%, significantly higher than the surrounding Angleton Independent School District and Columbia-Brazoria Independent School District, which have dropout rates below 3%.

Brazos Success Academy's academic performance is also a concern, with proficiency rates well below 50% on STAAR End-of-Course exams, consistently underperforming the district and state averages. This is likely exacerbated by the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, over 80% of whom qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's challenges are significant, the fluctuations in graduation and dropout rates suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement with the right interventions and support.

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.
