Pecan Ridge Rankings
School Districts Serving Pecan Ridge
Bryan Independent School District is a stable but average-performing organization currently revitalizing its infrastructure through a voter-approved $397 million bond. While the district features elite-performing campuses like Bryan Collegiate High School and several top-rated elementary schools, its overall state accountability rating remains a 'C,' hampered by a deficit budget and inconsistent performance across its middle and traditional high schools. Significant improvements in student behavior metrics and strong community support for facilities are balanced by fiscal uncertainty and a 'bimodal' academic portfolio that prevents it from reaching a higher stability tier.
