In zip code 76825, there is one elementary school, Brady Elementary, serving grades PK through 5 in Brady, Texas, with 458 students enrolled in the Brady Independent School District (Isd).
Brady Elementary shows a pattern of strong early grades but struggles in upper elementary. In the most recent school year, 3rd graders outperformed the state average in both Reading (51.85% vs. 51.08%) and Mathematics (48.15% vs. 44.33%), while 4th graders excelled in Reading with 58.62% proficiency compared to the state's 53.04%. However, performance dips in 5th grade, where the school falls below state averages in Reading and Math. A significant concern is 5th Grade Science, where only 13.56% of students were proficient in the prior year, far below the state average of 29.57%. The school serves a population where 71.62% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, and it invests $12,299 per student with a low student-teacher ratio of 13.4, allowing for more individualized attention.
Despite these challenges, Brady Elementary is on a positive trajectory, improving its state ranking from the 49th percentile (2 stars) in 2024-2025 to the 57th percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026. This upward trend, combined with strong early-grade scores, suggests recent instructional strategies are having a positive effect. The school's overall ranking places it 1,977th out of 4,627 elementary schools in Texas, while its district ranks 369th out of 951 districts statewide. The key takeaway is a school making progress in early literacy and math, but with a clear need to address upper-grade performance, especially in science.
