Summary

Brazos Elementary is a small, rural PK-5 school in Orchard, TX, serving 346 students within the highly-rated Brazos Independent School District (Isd).

This school has recently achieved a remarkable turnaround, jumping from a 2-star rating to a 4-star rating (71st percentile) in the 2025-2026 school year—a 24-percentile-point leap in just one year. This success is especially notable because Brazos serves a predominantly low-income population (64% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch), yet it is now outperforming many demographically similar neighbors. For example, while schools like Bowie Elementary and Beasley Elementary continue to struggle, Brazos has become a "high-poverty, high-performance" outlier. The school's targeted interventions appear to be working exceptionally well for its most vulnerable students: it ranks in the 90th percentile for English Language Learners and the 81st percentile for low-income students, far exceeding the performance of nearby schools for these groups.

The improvement is most dramatic in early-grade reading and math. Third-grade reading proficiency soared from 41.94% to 64.29% in one year, and third-grade math jumped from 27.42% to 61.9%—both well above state averages. However, the school faces a challenge in upper elementary math, where 5th-grade proficiency (40%) falls below the state average (47.38%). Additionally, while Brazos excels at supporting struggling learners, its Gifted and Talented program ranks in only the 35th percentile, suggesting a need for more enrichment opportunities for its highest-achieving students. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1, the school has a strong foundation to build on this momentum.
