Summary

Sul Ross Elementary is a PK-4 school in Bryan, TX, serving 476 students within the Bryan Independent School District (Isd), where about 75% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school has a student-teacher ratio of 14.7:1.

Sul Ross Elementary presents a mixed picture of performance. Its greatest strength is with its White students, who rank in the 88th percentile statewide—a top-tier result. However, the school struggles significantly with other groups, as African American students rank in the 4th percentile and low-income students in the 13th percentile. This creates a large achievement gap within the school. Additionally, support for special education students has dropped sharply, from the 75th percentile in 2023-2024 to just the 18th percentile in 2025-2026. On a positive note, the school excels with English Language Learners, who ranked in the 70th percentile in 2024-2025, suggesting effective programs that could be expanded. Nearby Johnson Elementary (75th percentile overall) shows more consistent performance across all grades, while Crockett Elementary, just 0.58 miles away, has a similar demographic but lower early-grade test scores than Sul Ross.

Grade-level performance at Sul Ross is inconsistent. In 2025-2026, 3rd graders outperformed the district in both Reading (51.35% vs. 44.07%) and Math (43.84% vs. 38.56%), but 4th graders fell behind in both subjects (Reading: 44.32% vs. 50%; Math: 38.64% vs. 48.58%). This "4th-grade slump" has been a recurring issue, especially in math. The school’s overall state ranking has fluctuated between the 10th and 53rd percentiles over the last decade, currently sitting at the 46th percentile. While Sul Ross has a strong foundation in early grades and notable success with some student groups, the recent declines for vulnerable populations and the widening achievement gap require focused attention to ensure all students can thrive.
