Summary:
The 11 public schools in zip code 77515 (Angleton, TX) serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, primarily within the Angleton Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 37th percentile statewide.
For parents, the standout school is Westside Elementary, a consistent 4-star performer that exceeds state averages in math and reading despite a high rate of economic disadvantage. In contrast, Southside Elementary, which has the highest poverty rate in the area, has seen its ranking decline. Northside Elementary is the most improved, jumping from a 3-star to a 4-star rating in recent years. A critical concern is the "middle school dip": Angleton Junior High School scores well below state averages in standard 8th-grade subjects (e.g., 31% in reading vs. 59% statewide), yet it excels in advanced coursework, with over 77% of students proficient in Algebra I and 87% in Biology. Angleton High School is a middle-of-the-pack school with a 97.7% graduation rate but test scores in Algebra I (44%) and English I (40%) that lag behind state averages, suggesting middle school struggles persist.
Specialized schools like the Student Alternative Center and Brazoria County Juvenile Detention have very low test scores and extremely high per-student spending (up to $83,457), reflecting the intensive resources needed for their unique populations. The Trinity Charter School campus is too small to evaluate. Overall, while Westside Elementary shows that high performance is possible despite economic challenges, the district faces a clear pipeline problem where students fall behind in middle school and struggle to catch up by high school.
