Summary

Neal Elementary in Bryan, TX, is a PK-4 school serving 323 students within the Bryan Independent School District (Isd), operating in a high-poverty area where over 94% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Neal Elementary stands out for its exceptional support of English Language Learners (ELL), ranking in the 87th percentile statewide for this group—a remarkable achievement that also benefits its broader Hispanic student population. The school maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 10.8:1, significantly lower than nearby schools like Mitchell Elementary (14.6:1) and Bonham Elementary (14.5:1), allowing for more individualized attention. Higher per-student spending ($12,758) reflects targeted investments in this high-need community. Reading is a clear strength, with 4th-grade scores exceeding both district and state averages. However, 3rd-grade math scores lag behind, and the school faces a critical challenge with Special Education students, who ranked in the 8th percentile recently. Overall, Neal's state ranking has been volatile, ranging from the 13th to 54th percentile over the past decade, but it currently sits at the 45th percentile with a 2-star rating.

Compared to nearby schools, Neal outperforms Kemp-Carver Elementary (0.73 miles away), which has a similarly high poverty rate (90.23%) but ranks lower (29th percentile). In contrast, Mitchell Elementary (2.6 miles away) has a much lower poverty rate (61%) and consistently higher rankings (64th percentile), highlighting the challenges Neal faces. Neal's balanced performance—with reading as a strength—differs from Arrow Academy - Save Our Streets Center, a charter school that excels in math but struggles more with reading. This school demonstrates that targeted support can yield strong results, even under significant economic disadvantage.
