Summary

Bertram Elementary is a PK-5 school in the small town of Bertram, Texas, serving 437 students as part of the Burnet Consolidated Independent School District, which ranks in the bottom 12% of Texas districts. The school serves a high-needs population, with over 61% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and its academic performance consistently falls below state averages—for example, only 24% of 3rd graders were proficient in math compared to the state average of 44%.

A key differentiator is the stark socioeconomic divide between Bertram and nearby schools in higher-performing districts. Just 10 miles away, Louine Noble Elementary in Liberty Hill Independent School District (Isd) has a poverty rate of only 12% and nearly 3 times the math proficiency rate. Similarly, Santa Rita Elementary and San Gabriel Elementary in Georgetown Independent School District (Isd) significantly outperform Bertram, highlighting how district boundaries and economic factors shape outcomes. Interestingly, Bertram spends more per student ($11,231) than these higher-performing schools, suggesting that funding alone isn't the issue—how resources are used matters.

There are a few bright spots and concerns. In 2024-2025, 5th-grade reading proficiency hit 48%, well above the district average, though this success wasn't sustained. More troubling, support for special education students dropped from the 54th percentile to the 7th percentile in one year, and Hispanic student performance fell to the 1st percentile. Meanwhile, the school's "sibling" campus, Rj Richey Elementary, just 10 miles away in the same district with similar poverty rates, consistently outperforms Bertram, pointing to differences in school-level leadership and teaching quality as critical factors for families to consider.
