Summary:
In zip code 77808, there is one elementary school, Mitchell Elementary, which serves grades Pre-K through 4th grade in the Bryan, Texas area as part of the Bryan Independent School District (Isd).
Mitchell Elementary has a total enrollment of 426 students and has maintained a stable state ranking in the 64th percentile over the past three years, earning a 3-star rating. The school shows a clear pattern of academic growth between 3rd and 4th grade, with 4th-grade scores in both Reading and Math significantly higher than 3rd-grade scores. For instance, in the most recent data, 4th-grade Reading proficiency reached 62.11%, compared to 50% in 3rd grade, and 4th-grade Math proficiency was 54.17%, compared to just 37.84% in 3rd grade. The school's standout strength is in 4th Grade Reading, where it consistently outperforms both the district and state averages, achieving a 71.88% proficiency rate in the 2024-2025 school year. The student-teacher ratio is a favorable 14.6 students per teacher, and per-student spending was $10,484.
A key area of concern is 3rd Grade Mathematics, where proficiency rates have fallen below both district and state averages in recent years. While Mitchell Elementary consistently beats its district averages in all subjects, it only exceeds the state average in Reading (both grades) and 4th Grade Math. The school serves a student body where 61.03% are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and its stable ranking despite these challenges, especially within a district ranked in the bottom 35% of Texas, points to resilient school leadership and effective instruction. Improving 3rd-grade math scores to at least the state average would likely have a significant positive impact on the school's overall ranking.
