Summary
Travis B Bryan High School in Bryan, TX, is a large comprehensive public high school serving 2,426 students in grades 9-12 within the Bryan Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 35th percentile statewide. The school has historically ranked in the bottom third of Texas high schools, with its most recent data placing it in the 27th percentile (1 star), and it serves a predominantly low socio-economic status population, with over 71% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
When comparing Bryan High to nearby schools, the performance gap is striking. For instance, College Station High School and A & M Cons High School in the College Station Independent School District (Isd) consistently rank in the 73rd-83rd percentile (4 stars), with proficiency in English I Reading at Bryan High (39.12%) being roughly half that of College Station High School (65.96%). Even more stark is the contrast within the same district: Bryan Collegiate High School, a magnet school located just 0.71 miles away, ranks in the 96th percentile (5 stars) and achieves dramatically higher proficiency rates, such as 94.17% in Biology versus Bryan High's 55.34%. This internal disparity suggests that factors like school culture and curriculum rigor can overcome challenges associated with high poverty rates, as both schools serve similar demographics.
Despite overall low scores, there are some bright spots. U.S. History is a consistent strength, with a proficiency rate of 66.47% that outperforms the district average. Additionally, Asian students achieved a remarkable 100th percentile ranking in 2025-2026, a sudden improvement from previous years. However, critical areas need attention: Algebra I proficiency remains very low at 18.18%, and the school struggles to effectively serve its majority low-SES and Hispanic student populations, who rank in the 20th and 22nd percentiles respectively. Notably, per-student spending at Bryan High ($11,161) is higher than at College Station High School ($9,145) and Bryan Collegiate High School ($7,877), indicating that resource allocation, not just funding, is key to improving outcomes.
