Summary

Anson Jones Elementary in Bryan, TX, is a PK-4 school serving 695 students in the Bryan Independent School District (Isd), and it faces significant academic challenges, with over 94% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch and a recent state ranking drop to the 18th percentile.

One of the most notable findings is the school's sharp decline in state ranking, falling from the 44th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 18th percentile in 2025-2026—the most dramatic negative shift among nearby schools like Crockett Elementary, which saw a less severe drop. Anson Jones also struggles in 3rd-grade math, with only 29.2% of students proficient, the lowest rate among peers like Sul Ross Elementary (43.84%). However, a fascinating pattern emerges in 4th grade: math proficiency (46.46%) nearly matches district and state averages, while reading proficiency (32.28%) lags far behind. Additionally, the school's bilingual program shines, with 4th graders taking the Spanish STAAR achieving 70.83% proficiency in reading—more than double the state average—and 47.62% in math, also well above the state norm.

Support for student subgroups has been inconsistent. Special education services ranked in the 81st percentile in 2023-2024 but dropped to the 37th percentile in 2025-2026, while English Language Learner support fell from the 80th to the 42nd percentile over the same period. Nearby Arrow Academy - Save Our Streets Center, just 0.58 miles away, serves a similarly high-poverty population but consistently ranks in the top half of Texas schools (57th percentile), with 4th-grade math proficiency (82.35%) nearly double Anson Jones's rate. This contrast suggests that high poverty is not an insurmountable barrier, and Anson Jones could explore Arrow Academy's instructional model for potential strategies to improve.
