Better than 5% of Texas elementary schools

Summary

Brooks-Quinn-Jones Elementary is a K-5 school in Nacogdoches, TX, serving 612 students within the Nacogdoches Independent School District (Isd), where over 93% of students come from economically disadvantaged households, placing the school in a high-poverty context that significantly impacts its academic performance.

This school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Texas elementary schools, with its most recent ranking dropping to the 5th percentile. While it outperforms some district peers like Emeline Carpenter Elementary and Mike Moses Elementary, it is dramatically outperformed by nearby schools within the same district. For example, Thomas J Rusk Elementary (44th percentile) and Raguet Elementary (30th percentile) are less than 1.5 miles away and achieve significantly better results, despite serving similar demographics. This stark contrast suggests that factors like school leadership, teaching quality, and curriculum may be making a substantial difference in those schools.

One bright spot was a 39.22% proficiency rate in 3rd grade math in 2023-2024, which was higher than the district average and a strong outlier for the school. However, performance across other subjects and grades remains inconsistent, and the school's per-student spending of $10,722 is higher than the state average and many higher-performing peers, indicating that resource allocation effectiveness is a key challenge. Understanding what nearby schools like Rusk and Raguet are doing differently could provide a roadmap for improvement at Brooks-Quinn-Jones.
