Summary

Krause Elementary is a public elementary school in Brenham, Texas, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 658 students. The school is part of the Brenham Independent School District, which is ranked 566 out of 961 school districts in the state.

Krause Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on STAAR tests for reading and math in grades 3 and 4. For example, in 2024-2025, only 34.53% of 3rd graders and 30.94% of 4th graders at Krause Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 40.55% and 42.9% for Brenham ISD, and 52.02% and 53.73% for the state. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1076 out of 4320 Texas elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 3977 out of 4651 in 2024-2025.

Krause Elementary's struggles are particularly evident in its support for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who consistently rank in the bottom 10-20% of their respective categories statewide. In contrast, nearby schools like Brenham Elementary and Alton Elementary have significantly higher STAAR test scores and statewide rankings. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, at 70.82%, may be contributing to its academic challenges, but the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio suggests that resource allocation could be optimized to better support student learning.
