Summary

Robert P Brabham Middle in Willis, TX, serves 1,179 students in grades 6-8 within the Willis Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 34th percentile statewide. The school is a study in contrasts: it excels in advanced coursework but struggles with standard grade-level instruction, particularly in math.

Brabham’s standout strength is its exceptional performance in advanced classes. Students taking Algebra I scored an impressive 93.75% proficient, far exceeding the district average of 41.19% and rivaling top nearby schools like Oak Hills J H (97.35%) and New Waverly J H (100%). In Biology, Brabham achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate, compared to the district’s 69.92%. However, this success contrasts sharply with standard math scores: only 22.54% of 7th graders and 24.54% of 8th graders were proficient, well below state averages. While Brabham outperforms its district peer Lynn Lucas Middle in most subjects, it lags significantly behind schools in neighboring Montgomery Independent School District (Isd) and Conroe Independent School District (Isd), such as Mitchell Intermediate, which scores over 80% in all subjects.

Despite academic challenges, Brabham maintains a very low dropout rate of 0.2%, indicating strong student retention. A concerning trend is the broad decline in performance across student subgroups, including a dramatic drop for Gifted and Talented students from the 45th to the 11th percentile. On a positive note, Special Education and English Language Learner students have shown improvement. The school spends $7,947 per student, less than many nearby schools, which may be an area for further investigation as the school works to lift standard math and reading achievement for all students.
