Brazos High School

Summary:

Brazos High School is a public high school located in Wallis, Texas, serving 287 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Royal Independent School District, which is ranked 386 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brazos High School stands out for its higher percentage of Hispanic students (57.49%) compared to nearby schools, as well as its strong graduation rates, which have ranged from 93.9% to 100% in recent years, generally higher than the surrounding schools. The school also has relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 1.7%. However, its performance on STAAR EOC exams is mixed, with some subject areas like Biology and English II Reading performing better than the district and state averages, while others like Algebra I fall below the averages. Brazos High School also has a strong program for Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the top 25% of Texas high schools in this category.

Compared to nearby high schools, Brazos High School generally performs better than lower-ranked schools like Royal High School, but lags behind higher-performing schools such as Seven Lakes High School and Tompkins High School in areas like test scores and graduation rates. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 491 out of 1,876 Texas high schools in 2021-2022 to 888 out of 1,987 in 2023-2024, suggesting it may be struggling to keep pace with other high-performing schools in the state.

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.
