Summary:
Spring Branch, Texas, is home to three public elementary schools serving grades PK through 5, all part of the highly-rated Comal Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 89th percentile statewide.
Bill Brown Elementary is the standout performer, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide and earning a 5-star rating. It significantly outperforms both district and state averages in every subject, with 87.73% of 5th graders proficient in Reading compared to the state average of 58.47%. This school also has the lowest rate of economic disadvantage at 12.89%. Rebecca Creek Elementary is another strong 5-star school, ranking in the 91st percentile, and is particularly notable for achieving high performance despite having the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (47.06%) in the group. Arlon R Seay Elementary is the most challenged school, ranking in the 83rd percentile with a 4-star rating, and it sometimes scores below the district average in early-grade Reading and Math.
A key takeaway is that spending does not equal performance: Arlon R Seay has the highest spending per student ($9,224) but the lowest academic scores, while Bill Brown has the lowest spending ($8,268) and the highest scores. Additionally, Arlon R Seay's bilingual program reveals a significant challenge, with 0% proficiency reported on Spanish-language STAAR tests in 4th and 5th grade. Overall, parents in Spring Branch have access to two top-tier elementary schools and one solid school, with Bill Brown and Rebecca Creek both offering excellent academic environments.
