Summary:
The Navasota Independent School District (Isd) serves approximately 3,117 students across six campuses—three elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools—in a predominantly rural area of Texas, facing significant academic challenges as reflected by its 1-star rating and 15th percentile state ranking.
Within the district, Brule Elementary stands out as the academic bright spot, consistently earning a 2-star rating and outperforming its peers in reading and math, with 5th-grade math proficiency (40%) nearly matching the state average. In contrast, High Point Elementary struggles significantly, with only 12.5% proficiency in 5th-grade math. At the middle school level, Navasota J H presents a stark math anomaly: while 7th-grade math proficiency is critically low at 3.6%, its Algebra I End-of-Course exam proficiency soars to 89.36%, far exceeding state averages. The district’s two high schools serve vastly different missions: Navasota High School achieves an excellent 98.4% graduation rate with 919 students, while W B Bizzell Academy, an alternative school for just 9 at-risk students, reports a 71.8% graduation rate and a 15.6% dropout rate.
Key takeaways include a district-wide "science gap," with 5th-grade science proficiency ranging from just 4.4% at John C Webb Elementary to 25% at Brule Elementary. Economic disadvantage is high across all schools, with Free/Reduced Lunch rates above 70% and reaching 100% at W.B. Bizzell Academy. The district’s overall graduation rate of 94% is pulled down by the Academy, but its existence likely prevents an even higher dropout rate. Spending per student varies, with Navasota High School spending the most ($13,101) and Navasota J.H. the least ($10,496), while student-teacher ratios range from 2.3 at the Academy to 18.5 at John C. Webb Elementary.
