Summary

Richard Bransom Elementary is a PK-5 school in Burleson, TX, serving 566 students as part of the high-performing Burleson Independent School District (Isd). The school has earned a 4-star rating for five consecutive years and ranks in the 78th percentile statewide, placing it well above nearby schools like Jack Taylor Elementary (43rd percentile) and Norwood Elementary (35th percentile). With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.9:1 and a moderate level of economic diversity (36.22% free/reduced lunch), Bransom stands out for its consistent academic strength.

One of the school's most impressive features is its exceptional 5th-grade performance. In the most recent year, 75.29% of 5th graders were proficient in Reading and 69.05% in Math, far exceeding district and state averages. This "5th-grade surge" suggests that upper-grade instruction and intervention programs are highly effective. The school also excels in supporting its African American students, who ranked in the 92nd percentile statewide—a dramatic improvement from two years prior. Interestingly, male students at Bransom outperform female students, ranking in the 81st percentile compared to the 73rd percentile for females, a trend that has been consistent for three years.

While Bransom is a top performer, it faces some challenges. Its 5th-grade Science scores are a notable weakness, with only 32.17% of students proficient, slightly below the district average. Additionally, performance for Multi-racial students has dropped significantly, from the 69th percentile to the 41st percentile, which warrants attention. Compared to nearby high-achieving schools like Academy At Nola Dunn (84th percentile) and Mound Elementary (76th percentile), Bransom holds its own, achieving strong results with a more diverse student body. Overall, this is a school that consistently prepares its students well for the next level, with clear strengths in Reading and Math.
