Summary:
Zip code 77801 is served by a single school, Crockett Elementary, a high-poverty elementary school (grades PK-4) within the Bryan Independent School District (Isd) that has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.7:1 but shows a concerning three-year decline in its overall state ranking.
Crockett Elementary serves 442 students, with nearly 90% qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The school's most recent state ranking places it in the 42nd percentile (2 stars), a drop from the 59th percentile (3 stars) three years ago. A key finding is the stark performance gap between grade levels: 4th graders significantly outperform 3rd graders in both reading (53.97% proficient vs. 29.87%) and math (51.61% vs. 37.66%). Notably, the 4th grade exceeds both state and district averages in these subjects, a strong achievement for a high-poverty school. However, the 3rd grade reading proficiency is well below the state average of 51.08%.
The school's math scores show high volatility, particularly in 4th grade, which dropped to 35% proficient in 2024-2025 before rebounding. This inconsistency, combined with the declining overall ranking, suggests challenges in maintaining consistent instruction across all grades. While the 4th grade success demonstrates the school's potential, the primary challenge is replicating that performance school-wide, especially in 3rd grade. The school spends $12,183 per student, slightly above the national average, and its small class sizes provide a foundation for potential improvement.
