Situated on Texas's Gulf Coast, Brazosport Independent School District serves students who speak over 20 languages and have a high mobility rate.

When they were offered a grant for [ST Math](https://www.stmath.com/) from Phillips 66, which employs many of the families in the area, Brazosport ISD embraced the opportunity. In just three years of implementation, the shift in math culture has been so profound that one campus went from being identified as at-risk by the state to earning the district's top 3rd grade math scores. Hear from the school administrators in this video:

Want to know more? Discover how faithful ST Math implementation and a 1:1 chromebook program created a cultural shift in how Brazosport students view math — and acheive in it.
