Summary

Shady Brook Elementary is a public elementary school in Bedford, Texas, serving 568 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 203 out of 961 school districts in the state.

Academically, Shady Brook Elementary's performance on STAAR tests is generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 3rd grade reading, only 45.71% of Shady Brook students were proficient or better, compared to 58.29% for the Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD and 52.02% for Texas. The school also has lower rankings for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and African American students, though it excels in its Gifted and Talented program, ranking among the top 80 elementary schools in the state. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, at 62.5%, may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Bedford Heights Elementary, Shady Brook consistently underperforms in reading and mathematics. However, the school's higher spending per student, at $9,781, suggests it may have the resources to implement targeted strategies and interventions to address the specific needs of its student population and improve overall academic achievement.
