Summary:
There are three elementary schools serving grades PK-5 in zip code 77868 (Navasota, TX), all part of the Navasota Independent School District (Isd), which is ranked in the 15th percentile statewide and faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 75% to 88%.
Brule Elementary is the standout performer in this area, consistently achieving the highest test scores and state rankings despite the district's overall struggles. It leads in nearly every subject, with 5th-grade math proficiency (47.37%) nearly double the district average and matching the state average, while also having the lowest student-to-teacher ratio (14.5:1) and highest per-student spending ($12,651). In contrast, High Point Elementary is the most challenged school, ranking in the 6th percentile (0 stars) and posting the lowest scores, such as only 12.5% of 5th graders proficient in math, while also having the highest poverty rate at 87.67%. John C Webb Elementary sits in the middle but shows significant inconsistency, with a bright spot in 4th-grade reading (53.57%, above the state average) but a catastrophic 4.4% proficiency in 5th-grade science—the lowest in the zip code.
A key takeaway is that while poverty strongly correlates with performance, it is not destiny, as Brule's success with 81.93% free/reduced lunch demonstrates that targeted investment in smaller classes and resources can mitigate disadvantage. However, there is a district-wide science crisis, with 5th-grade science proficiency averaging just 10.45% compared to the state's 29.57%, and John C Webb's 4.4% score meaning 95.6% of its 5th graders failed to meet grade-level standards. Additionally, Brule's ranking has declined from the 50th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 20th percentile in 2025-2026, suggesting it is losing ground relative to other Texas schools.
