An overview of Spring Branch public schools
The federal directory lists 6 public schools in Spring Branch, TX: 3 elementary, 2 middle, 1 high.

The largest campus is Smithson Valley H S (2,098 students), and the largest elementary school is Bill Brown El (799).

Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 15.7:1, higher than the statewide school median of 14.5:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
About 21% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
