Summary:
The 77485 zip code area is home to two schools - Brazos High School and Brazos Middle School, both part of the Brazos Independent School District (Isd). While Brazos Middle School has consistently performed well, earning a 4-star rating and outpacing state and district averages on key STAAR tests, Brazos High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, now ranking in the bottom 45% of Texas high schools.
Brazos Middle School stands out as a strong performer, with students consistently scoring higher than their peers across the state and district on reading, math, and science assessments. In contrast, Brazos High School lags behind on STAAR end-of-course exams, particularly in Algebra I, where only 22.86% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 44.73%. Both schools serve a majority Hispanic student population, with a significant portion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the presence of socioeconomic challenges that may be contributing to the performance gaps observed.
Despite the diverging trends in school performance, both Brazos High School and Brazos Middle School maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios and high graduation rates, with Brazos High School boasting a 93.9% four-year graduation rate. These strengths, combined with targeted interventions and support to address the identified areas of concern, could help ensure that all students in the 77485 zip code have access to a high-quality education and the opportunity to succeed.
