Summary

Henderson Elementary in Bryan, TX, is a PK-4 school in the Bryan Independent School District (Isd) serving 533 students, with 83.49% qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and has recently achieved a 3-star rating (56th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year after several years of 2-star ratings.

Henderson Elementary is a school of notable contrasts. It excels at the highest levels with its Gifted and Talented (GT) students, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide and earning a 5-star rating for this group. The school also shows strong and improving performance with its Hispanic students, who ranked in the 74th percentile (4-star rating) in 2025-2026, up from the 58th percentile the previous year. However, the school faces a critical challenge with its African American students, who ranked in the 2nd percentile (0-star rating) in the same year, a dramatic decline from the 46th percentile two years prior. This disparity suggests a potential issue of equity in how resources and support are allocated within the school. Additionally, Henderson shows a unique "tale of two grades" in math: 3rd graders scored 38.67% proficient (below the state average of 44.33%), while 4th graders scored 52.44% proficient (above the state average of 49.28%), indicating the school may be adding significant value between these grades.

Compared to nearby schools, Henderson has recently pulled ahead of Sul Ross Elementary (0.83 miles away), particularly in 4th-grade math (52.44% vs. 38.64%) and 4th-grade reading (47.56% vs. 44.32%). It significantly outperforms Anson Jones Elementary (1.73 miles away), which serves an even higher-poverty population (94.24%) and ranks much lower (18th percentile). However, Johnson Elementary (1.94 miles away) remains the clear academic leader in the area, consistently earning 4-star ratings and outperforming Henderson in nearly every subject, though Johnson has a much lower poverty rate (53.48%). Henderson's recent upward trajectory, driven by strong gains in 4th-grade math and reading and success with GT and Hispanic students, is a positive sign for parents considering this school.
