Schools in May ISD · Brown County

Four of Brown County's 17 public schools rank in the top quartile statewide — a solid showing for a rural West Texas county of this size. What's striking is how concentrated that performance is: the Early school district accounts for the county's strongest results across all grade levels, with Early High School reaching the 89th percentile statewide and both Early Elementary and Early Middle close behind at the 79th. Spread across seven districts serving Brownwood, Bangs, Early, and smaller communities like May, the county offers families a genuine contrast between a mid-sized city system and smaller districts where standout results are clearly achievable.
