Summary:
Zip code 76933, serving the rural community of Bronte, Texas, is home to a single school district, Bronte Independent School District (ISD), which operates as one unified campus for Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade with a total enrollment of 232 students.
Bronte Independent School District (Isd) stands out for its exceptional high school performance and student retention. The district boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year. High school students consistently outperform the state average on End-of-Course (EOC) exams, achieving a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the English II Reading exam and 92.31% on U.S. History. The school also benefits from a very low student-teacher ratio of 8.8:1, allowing for personalized instruction, and a lower-than-average economic disadvantage rate of 34.91%.
However, the data reveals a significant performance gap between grade levels. While high school students excel, elementary and middle school students struggle, particularly in Reading and Math. For example, only 15.38% of 3rd graders and 22.22% of 4th graders met state standards in Reading, far below state averages. This creates a "tale of two schools" within the same campus, suggesting that while the high school program is highly effective, there is a critical need for targeted intervention in early literacy and math instruction to build stronger academic foundations for all students.
