Summary:
The three public schools in zip code 76825, serving the Brady Independent School District (Isd) in Brady, Texas, educate approximately 935 students from elementary through high school, with the district earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 61st percentile statewide.
Brady High School stands out as a graduation powerhouse, boasting a 97.3% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, while also spending the most per student ($14,588) and maintaining the lowest student-teacher ratio (9.6:1). In contrast, Brady Elementary serves the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (71.62%) with the lowest spending per student ($12,299) and the highest student-teacher ratio (13.4:1), yet it provides a stable foundation with 3rd-grade reading proficiency (51.85%) slightly above the state average. Brady Middle is the most improved school, jumping from the 34th to the 58th percentile in state rankings, driven by exceptional 8th-grade math scores where 64.06% of students are proficient (compared to 47.24% statewide) and advanced Algebra I students achieving an 83.33% proficiency rate.
A key finding is the "Math Paradox" at the middle school, where 6th and 7th-grade math scores lag behind state averages, but 8th-grade math dramatically outperforms, suggesting a targeted instructional turnaround. However, a "Science Gap" emerges district-wide, with 5th-grade science at the elementary school at only 13.56% proficiency versus the state's 29.57%, though this gap narrows by high school. Additionally, while advanced 8th graders excel in Algebra I, the high school's overall Algebra I EOC score is just 42%, indicating a two-tiered math system where the standard path struggles significantly compared to accelerated learners.
