Summary:
The Bellville Independent School District (Isd) in Texas serves three elementary schools—O'Bryant Pri (PK-3), O'Bryant Intermediate (4-5), and West End Elementary (K-5)—with a total enrollment of 972 students. The district overall holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 61st percentile statewide, but performance varies significantly between schools.
West End Elementary is the standout school, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 80th percentile—far ahead of the other two schools, which both hold 2-star ratings. West End is the smallest school (143 students) but has the highest spending per student ($11,984), the lowest student-teacher ratio (12:1), and the lowest percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch (36.36%). Its academic performance leads the district, with 4th-grade math proficiency at 75% (compared to the district average of 49.74%) and 5th-grade reading at 70.59%. In contrast, O'Bryant Pri is the largest school (563 students) with the highest poverty rate (49.38%) and lowest spending per student ($9,924), while O'Bryant Intermediate (266 students) shows a troubling decline in math proficiency from 4th grade (46.06%) to 5th grade (40.97%).
A key district-wide concern is 5th-grade science, where the 2024-2025 average proficiency was just 24%, well below the state average of 29.57%. West End Elementary was a bright spot at 44.44%, while O'Bryant Intermediate struggled at 19.51%. Overall, the data suggests that smaller schools with more resources per student tend to perform better academically in this district, and parents should note the significant performance gap between West End and the O'Bryant campuses.
