Summary

Briscoe Junior High in Richmond, TX, is a large, high-performing school serving 2,003 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, consistently ranking in the top 12% of Texas middle schools over the past decade.

Briscoe stands out as the top middle school in its district, with a 90th percentile statewide rank that far exceeds nearby district peers like Dean Leaman Jh (87th percentile), Lamar Jh (35th percentile), and George Jh (23rd percentile). Its most distinctive strength is social studies, where 68.47% of 8th graders were proficient—more than double the rate of its district peers and far above the state average of 31.69%. The school also excels in advanced math, with 98.4% of students taking Algebra I scoring proficient, nearly double the district average. Additionally, Briscoe is exceptionally effective with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the 91st percentile statewide for this group, and with African American students, ranking in the 90th percentile.

While Briscoe delivers strong results, it faces a consistent challenge in 7th-grade math, where proficiency (27.38%) lags behind the state average (29.41%) and is a notable dip compared to its high performance in 6th and 8th-grade math. The school also shows more moderate results for Asian students (61st percentile) and English Language Learners (78th percentile). Despite its large enrollment, Briscoe maintains a low dropout rate of 0.9%, reflecting strong student engagement. While it cannot match the elite performance of nearby Katy Independent School District schools like Beckendorff J H or Seven Lakes J H, Briscoe is a model of high achievement within its district, delivering excellent outcomes for its diverse student body.

I hate how the buses always come late :( I feel so bad for my classmates who miss work and have to go to tutorials almost everyday. It must be so tiring for the other students. Bus 3065 must come early at some point. Close Quote
