Summary

A P Beutel Elementary in Lake Jackson, TX, serves 572 students in grades PK-4 within the Brazosport Independent School District (Isd), and is a school with a proven history of excellence that has recently experienced a significant decline.

Once a top-tier school ranking in the 91st percentile statewide in 2021-2022, A P Beutel has dropped to the 63rd percentile in the most recent data, a steep fall of 28 points. This decline is most dramatic in 4th-grade mathematics, where proficiency rates have plummeted from a strong 73% in 2022-2023 to just 35.87%—far below both the district and state averages. This is the lowest 4th-grade math score among comparable PK-4 schools in the district, with nearby Gladys Polk Elementary achieving a 77.61% proficiency rate in the same subject. Interestingly, the school’s 3rd-grade reading scores have remained relatively stable, pointing to a specific, recent issue with 4th-grade math instruction or curriculum.

The contrast with Bess Brannen Elementary, located just 2.26 miles away, is striking. Bess Brannen is a top-tier school (88th percentile) with a lower poverty rate (38.82% free/reduced lunch) and spends less per student ($9,678 vs. $11,468) while having larger class sizes. This suggests that A P Beutel’s challenges are not simply about resources. The school previously excelled at supporting at-risk students, ranking in the 86th percentile for that subgroup, but that strength has eroded. For parents, this means A P Beutel is a school in transition, with a clear need for targeted intervention in 4th-grade math to reverse its downward trend and return to its former high-performing status.
