Summary:
The four public schools in zip code 76424, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in Breckenridge, Texas, are part of the Breckenridge Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 57th percentile statewide. The district serves approximately 1,374 students across Breckenridge High School, Breckenridge J H, East Elementary, and South Elementary, with all schools reporting high levels of economic disadvantage, as over 60% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
The standout school is Breckenridge J H, which excels in advanced math, with 94.44% of 8th graders scoring proficient on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam—far exceeding both district and state averages. This strong pipeline feeds into Breckenridge High School, which shows consistent improvement, rising from the 46th to the 61st percentile in state rankings over three years, and boasts a 94% graduation rate with a 0.5% dropout rate. In contrast, South Elementary is the district's only 2-star school, with declining state rankings and test scores below state averages in 3rd-grade Reading and 5th-grade Science, despite having the highest per-student spending at $10,405. East Elementary has the highest economic disadvantage rate at 78.51%.
Key findings reveal a paradox in spending and performance: Breckenridge J H spends the least per student ($8,208) but achieves the best academic results, while South Elementary spends the most yet struggles. A district-wide weakness is Social Studies, with only 24.36% of 8th graders proficient, well below the state average. Additionally, early literacy is a concern, as both elementary schools fall below state reading averages, suggesting a need for foundational support. Overall, the district shows strength in math acceleration and high school improvement but faces challenges in elementary performance and social studies instruction.
