Summary

Brady Elementary is a public elementary school located in Brady, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 465 students. The school is part of the Brady Independent School District, which is ranked 507 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio, Brady Elementary's academic performance remains consistently below the state average across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade proficiency rates were 52.54% in reading, 35.71% in math, and 13.56% in science, compared to the state averages of 57.83%, 46.24%, and 29.57%, respectively. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, with some fluctuations in rankings and star ratings.

The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, at 77.85% in the 2023-2024 school year, may contribute to the challenges it faces. Additionally, the varying performance of different student subgroups, such as male vs. female students and special education vs. English Language Learner (ELL) students, indicates that the school may need to focus on addressing the unique needs and challenges of these diverse learners. While the data does not include information about any nearby or comparable schools, the district's relatively low ranking among Texas school districts suggests that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve overall academic outcomes at Brady Elementary.
