Summary:
The 77833 zip code in Brenham, TX, is served by seven schools across two districts, primarily Brenham Independent School District (Isd), which is ranked in the 44th percentile statewide, and the much smaller Trinity Charter School.
Among the traditional public schools, Alton Elementary stands out as the academic leader, consistently earning a 3-star rating and achieving test scores that often meet or exceed state averages. Brenham Elementary is the most improved, rebounding to a 3-star rating in the 2025-2026 school year with strong math scores. In contrast, Krause Elementary is the lowest-performing traditional campus, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools. At the secondary level, Brenham High School is a solid mid-tier school with a 93.5% graduation rate, while Brenham J H faces a critical math crisis, with only 5.71% of 7th graders proficient in math. Brenham Middle serves grades 5-6 and provides a transition point between elementary and junior high.
A significant outlier is Trinity Charter School - Brenham Campus, a small alternative school serving a highly at-risk population (91% free/reduced lunch) with critically low academic performance, including 0% proficiency in Algebra I and U.S. History. Overall, the elementary schools are the district's strength, but academic momentum appears to decline in middle school. Spending per student does not correlate with performance, as Trinity Charter spends the most ($15,935/student) yet performs the worst, while Alton Elementary achieves strong results with $9,751/student.
