Brownsboro Elementary is a small school serving prekindergarten through third grade in rural northeastern Henderson County, about a half hour northeast of Athens. It enrolls a small student body across five grade levels, with the majority of families qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and a student population that is predominantly white, with smaller numbers of Hispanic, Black, and multiracial students.
The school's 2024-25 state assessment results on the STAAR show proficiency levels below the midpoint among Henderson County districts. In third-grade reading, fewer than half of tested students reached the proficient level or above. In third-grade math, the proficiency rate was comparable. When looking across the school's full tested population using the state's performance level framework, the school showed that most students were approaching grade-level standards, a modest share were meeting them, and a small share had mastered the material. The school's overall proficiency index positioned it below the midpoint among county districts.
Because Brownsboro Elementary serves only early grades, state testing data covers only grade three; no trend history is available from the payload provided. The school's performance warrants attention, and a parent may want to connect directly with the school about instructional priorities, intervention supports, and any recent staffing or program changes that might offer context. The data provided does not include information on teacher staffing, attendance, discipline, special education or English learner services, or program breadth, so those details are worth asking about.
The school sits on State Highway 31 in Brownsboro, a very small, rural community of homeowner families with a conservative lean and a modest downtown area. The region is car-dependent with no public transit; families typically commute to nearby Tyler or Athens for employment. Housing in the area is affordable relative to state and national benchmarks, with homes dominated by detached single-family construction and a median property value somewhat below the state average. The town has grown modestly in recent years but remains very small. Brownsboro ISD, which operates six campuses across Brownsboro and neighboring Chandler, approved a substantial bond in 2022 that funded facility upgrades including a new fine arts auditorium, expanded health science and agriculture classrooms, and track resurfacing; that work has begun. In November 2024, the district held a voter-approval tax rate election to address state funding constraints and teacher retention challenges, though the outcome of that measure is not documented in the sources reviewed.
