Summary:
The city of Granbury, Texas is home to a diverse set of 12 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 4 high schools. The schools in this area exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with some standout institutions like Oak Woods School, an elementary school that consistently ranks among the top 339 in the state, and Acton Middle, which ranks among the top 401 middle schools in Texas. In contrast, other schools like Granbury Middle and Nettie Baccus Elementary struggle to meet state academic performance averages.
The data reveals a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools serving higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students, as measured by free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, generally underperforming compared to their more affluent counterparts. This highlights the importance of addressing the challenges faced by students from low-income backgrounds. Additionally, the significant variation in per-student spending, from $7,931 to $18,831, suggests potential funding inequities that may contribute to the disparities in academic outcomes across the schools in the Granbury Independent School District.
The schools in Granbury also exhibit a range of racial and ethnic diversity, with some, like John and Lynn Brawner Elementary and Nettie Baccus Elementary, having more diverse student populations than others. This diversity could present both challenges and opportunities for the district. Additionally, the performance of the two charter high schools in the area, Premier H.S. of Granbury and Lake Granbury Academy, is mixed, with Premier H.S. performing better than Lake Granbury Academy but both lagging behind the traditional public high school, Granbury High School, in terms of academic performance and graduation rates.
