Dove Elementary

Dove Elementary in Grapevine, TX, is a PK-5 school in the highly-rated Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District (Isd), serving 411 students with a favorable 13:1 student-to-teacher ratio and moderate economic diversity, where about 46% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Dove Elementary has recently achieved a remarkable turnaround, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 74th percentile statewide in 2025-2026—its best performance in nearly a decade and a significant jump from the 55th percentile the year prior. This improvement is largely driven by exceptional outcomes for female students, who ranked in the 90th percentile, though a notable gender gap exists as male students ranked only in the 56th percentile. The school also shows strong results for White students (74th percentile) and Gifted & Talented students, but faces challenges with Hispanic and Multi-racial student subgroups. Interestingly, math performance varies widely by grade: 3rd graders excelled with 69.39% proficiency, far exceeding district and state averages, while 4th graders struggled at just 48.08% proficiency, suggesting a need for better vertical alignment in math instruction.

Despite higher per-pupil spending ($11,824) and a low student-to-teacher ratio compared to nearby peers like Glenhope Elementary ($10,123) and Cannon Elementary ($9,573), Dove’s results have not yet reached top-tier levels. It sits in a competitive landscape, just 1.3 miles from Silver Lake Elementary (77th percentile) and 1.4 miles from Cannon Elementary (67th percentile), while also near elite schools like Robert H Rockenbaugh Elementary in the Carroll Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 100th percentile. This promising but fragile recovery hinges on closing the gender gap, improving math for upper grades, and better supporting all student groups to sustain its new 4-star status.
