Summary

Brazos River Charter School is a small, rural high school in Nemo, TX, serving just 61 students in grades 9-12 as a single-school district, where about half of the students are economically disadvantaged.

This school stands out for its extreme academic volatility compared to nearby traditional public schools. While Glen Rose High School and Granbury High School consistently rank in the 65th-86th percentile, Brazos River’s state ranking has swung wildly—from the 48th percentile in 2023-2024 down to the 13th percentile recently. Its graduation rate of 75.9% is significantly lower than Glen Rose (98.4%), Rio Vista High School (97.8%), and Godley High School (94.9%). The school also experienced a dramatic dropout rate spike of 7.5% in 2022-2023, nearly 10 times higher than these neighboring districts. This performance profile is more similar to other alternative schools in the area, like Stars Accelerated High School and Team School, suggesting it may serve students who haven't thrived in traditional settings.

Despite spending more per student ($13,576) than high-performing Glen Rose High School ($12,572) and Granbury High School ($10,049), the school has struggled to build consistent academic success. However, there is a bright spot: in the most recent year, 100% of students were proficient in Biology, far exceeding the state average of 70.5% and even outperforming Glen Rose (90.1%). This suggests a specific teacher or approach is highly effective, but the school has not replicated this success across other subjects. The tiny student body makes data incredibly volatile—a single student’s performance can swing proficiency rates dramatically—making Brazos River a high-risk, high-variability choice for families.
