Summary:
The Brady Independent School District (ISD) operates three schools - Brady Elementary, Brady High School, and Brady Middle - serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is located in an area with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of free and reduced lunch recipients across all three schools.
Brady High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 97.1% and a 0.0% dropout rate in 2022-2023. The school also performs well on some STAAR EOC exams, such as Biology and English II Reading. In contrast, Brady Elementary generally struggles with STAAR Reading and Mathematics scores below the state averages, though it does have some exceptions like 3rd grade Reading in 2023-2024.
Brady Middle is a standout in the district, with a 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I STAAR EOC exam in 2023-2024 and relatively strong performance in 8th grade STAAR Mathematics and Science. However, the school's overall STAAR Reading and Mathematics scores are mostly below the state averages. The district appears to be allocating significant resources to its schools, as evidenced by the high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, but the inconsistent academic performance suggests a need to optimize the utilization of these resources.
