Summary

Braeburn Elementary is a PK-5 campus in the Houston Independent School District (Isd) serving 853 students in a densely populated area of southwest Houston, where nearly 99% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Texas elementary schools over the past five years, earning a 1-star rating in most years, with STAAR performance significantly below district and state averages across all subjects and grade levels.

Braeburn stands in stark contrast to nearby schools, particularly those within the same district. Just 1.37 miles away, Condit Elementary is a 5-star school ranking in the 93rd percentile with proficiency rates 2-3 times higher. Herod Elementary (0.81 miles) and Sutton Elementary (0.86 miles) are both 3-star schools ranking in the 60th percentile. Even Energized For Excellence Academy Elementary (0.19 miles away), which shares a similar demographic profile, outperforms Braeburn in several areas, particularly 3rd-grade math and reading. Braeburn's per-student spending ($9,744) and student-teacher ratio (17:1) are average for the area, suggesting challenges are not primarily due to lack of funding.

Despite overall struggles, Braeburn shows pockets of excellence. African American students ranked in the 68th percentile statewide in 2022-2023, earning a 3-star rating—the only subgroup to perform above the state average. Special Education students showed dramatic improvement, jumping from the 21st percentile to the 79th percentile (4 stars) in 2023-2024. However, a critical concern is 5th-grade science, where only 9.92% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, far below the state average of 29.57% and lower than nearby high-poverty schools. The most recent data shows a slight upward trend, with the school moving from the 10th to the 13th percentile, its best ranking since 2019.
