About schools in Washington County

One school anchors Washington County's public education story: Burton Elementary ranks at the 86th percentile statewide, making it the county's sole top-quartile performer and a genuine standout among Texas's 8,000-plus public schools. Burton High School follows at the 68th percentile, suggesting the Burton ISD pipeline holds up through graduation. Brenham ISD, serving the county seat, contributes Brenham Junior High at the 59th percentile across its larger network of schools. With just two districts and eight ranked schools spread across this rural stretch of South Central Texas, families will find a compact landscape — one where Burton, despite its small size, consistently punches above its weight.
