Public Grades

Summary

Briargate Elementary is a public elementary school in Missouri City, Texas, serving 345 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fort Bend Independent School District, which is ranked 397 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating.

Briargate Elementary stands out for several key reasons. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (68.99%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 27-78% African American. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its performance on STAAR tests is significantly lower than district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. Additionally, over 90% of Briargate's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite spending significantly more per student ($15,124 in 2020-2021) than the state average, the school's academic outcomes remain poor.

Briargate Elementary's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from the bottom 20% in 2012-2013 to the bottom 5% in recent years. The school's struggles are particularly pronounced for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and special education students, who rank in the bottom 20-40% of their respective subgroups statewide. While the nearby schools in the Fort Bend ISD district also serve predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student populations, they generally outperform Briargate Elementary on academic measures, suggesting that the challenges faced by Briargate may be unique and require targeted solutions.
