Summary:
There is one elementary school, East Bernard Elementary, serving grades PK through 4 in the East Bernard Independent School District (Isd), a highly-ranked district in Texas (84th percentile).
East Bernard Elementary has 380 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14.2, with about 45.5% of students economically disadvantaged. The school shows notable strength in Reading, with 3rd graders scoring 61.97% proficient in 2025-2026—well above the state average of 51.08%—and 4th graders also slightly above the state in Reading. However, Math performance tells a different story: while 3rd graders beat the state average (50% vs. 44.33%), 4th graders fell nearly 10 points behind the state (39.47% vs. 49.28%). This pattern held for two consecutive years, suggesting a systemic challenge in math instruction as students advance to 4th grade.
The school's state ranking has been inconsistent, dropping from the 75th percentile (4-star) in 2023-2024 to the 56th percentile (3-star) in 2024-2025, before recovering to the 63rd percentile. A bright spot is the dramatic 13-point jump in 3rd grade Reading proficiency between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, which may reflect a successful intervention. With per-student spending of $8,975, the school has reasonable resources, but the volatile rankings and persistent math gap indicate that these resources may not be translating into stable, high-level performance across all subjects. Parents should note the school's strong reading program but ask about plans to address the declining math scores in 4th grade.
