Bremond Independent School District (Isd)

The Bremond Independent School District (Isd) serves 485 students across three schools—Bremond Elementary (PK-5), Bremond Middle (6-8), and Bremond High School (9-12)—in a small Texas community with moderate economic challenges, as about 56-59% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Bremond High School is the district’s standout, ranking in the top 5% of Texas high schools (95th percentile) with a perfect 100% graduation rate and exceptional test scores, including 100% proficiency in U.S. History and 92.59% in Biology. In contrast, Bremond Middle is the weakest link, consistently ranking in the low-to-mid 60th percentile with struggles in 7th-grade Math (21.74% proficient) and 8th-grade Social Studies (25% proficient). Bremond Elementary shows strong improvement, jumping from the 57th to 79th percentile, and excels in 4th-grade Math (75% proficient vs. 49.28% state average). The district overall ranks 105th out of 951 Texas districts (89th percentile).

A key finding is the “feeder pattern” challenge: despite the middle school’s lower student-teacher ratio (13.1:1) than the elementary school (14.1:1), its math performance drops sharply before rebounding at the high school, where Algebra I proficiency reaches 80.49%. Notably, 91.67% of 8th graders taking Algebra I are proficient, suggesting an accelerated track that feeds the high school’s success. The high school’s higher per-student spending ($15,775 vs. $10,116 at elementary) appears to be a strategic investment paying off, as it overcomes the middle school’s weaknesses to achieve top-tier results.
