Summary

Kemp-Carver Elementary in Bryan, TX, serves 563 students from Pre-K through 4th grade within the Bryan Independent School District (Isd), a high-poverty school where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Kemp-Carver’s academic performance has been volatile, with its overall state ranking dropping from the 45th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 29th percentile in 2025-2026. This instability is more pronounced than at nearby schools like Mitchell Elementary, which has consistently ranked in the 64th-66th percentile. A key internal contrast exists between grade levels: 4th graders significantly outperformed 3rd graders in both Reading (53% vs. 38.5%) and Mathematics (41.5% vs. 21.9%) in the most recent year. The 21.9% proficiency rate in 3rd-grade Math is a critical red flag, well below the district average of 38.6% and the state average of 44.3%. Interestingly, Neal Elementary, located just 0.73 miles away with an even higher poverty rate (94.4%), consistently outperforms Kemp-Carver, ranking in the 45th percentile and showing stronger 3rd-grade Reading (45.6% vs. 38.5%).

Despite higher spending per student ($12,383) and a lower student-teacher ratio (12.5:1) compared to most district peers, Kemp-Carver’s academic outcomes are generally lower. The school’s effectiveness with Special Education students has been incredibly volatile, dropping from the 81st percentile in 2024-2025 to the 18th percentile in 2025-2026. While 4th-grade Math is a bright spot, with 41.5% proficiency in 2025-2026, the school’s overall performance suggests that the challenges of a high-poverty student population require more than just financial resources to overcome.
