Brule Elementary

Summary:

Brule Elementary is a public elementary school in Navasota, Texas, serving 327 students in grades PK-5. The school stands out from nearby schools in several key ways, including its higher percentage of Hispanic students, stronger academic performance on state tests, and higher spending per student despite serving a high-needs population.

Brule Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (67.28%) compared to nearby schools, which have a more even distribution of White, African American, and Hispanic students. Despite this, the school outperforms the Navasota Independent School District and the state of Texas on several STAAR tests, particularly in 3rd grade reading and 5th grade mathematics. This suggests the school may be employing effective teaching strategies to support student learning, even with a high percentage (84.1%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Brule Elementary also has the highest spending per student ($12,651 in 2020-2021) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (13.2 in 2022-2023) compared to nearby schools like Fields Store Elementary, Creek View Elementary, and Iltexas College Station Elementary. These factors may contribute to the school's relatively stronger academic performance, suggesting Brule Elementary could be a model for how to effectively serve a high-needs student population and achieve positive outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
