Summary:
Nemo, Texas, is home to a single high school, Brazos River Charter School, a small public charter school serving grades 9 through 12 with just 61 students.
As the only school in the area, Brazos River Charter School presents a mixed performance profile. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.5:1 and spends $13,576 per student, yet it struggles with academic proficiency. Its state ranking has dropped sharply from the 48th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 13th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 1-star rating. The graduation rate is 75.9%, well below the state average, and the dropout rate is 3.0%. Over half of the students (52.46%) are economically disadvantaged, which can present additional challenges. The school's performance is highly volatile due to its small size—for example, Biology proficiency swung from 33% to 100% in one year, while Algebra I proficiency dropped from 8.33% to 0% in the same period. This makes year-over-year comparisons less reliable.
The most pressing concerns are the critically low proficiency in Algebra I (0% in 2025-2026) and English I and II reading, which consistently underperform state averages. The 100% Biology proficiency is a bright spot but an anomaly. The school's district, Brazos River Charter School, ranks 896 out of 951 in Texas (6th percentile, 0 stars). For parents, this school offers small class sizes and individualized attention, but the steep downward trend in rankings and low graduation rate signal significant academic challenges that require targeted interventions in math and reading to reverse the decline.
