Blooming Grove Independent School District (Isd)

The Blooming Grove Independent School District (Isd) is a small, unified district in Texas serving approximately 935 students across three schools: Blooming Grove Elementary (PK-5), Blooming Grove Jh (6-8), and Blooming Grove High School (9-12). The district overall ranks in the 38th percentile in Texas, earning a 2-star rating, but performance varies significantly between schools.

Blooming Grove High School is the clear standout, achieving a 3-star rating and consistently ranking in the 62nd to 67th percentile over the last three years. It outperforms state averages in key subjects like Algebra I, English II Reading, and U.S. History. In contrast, Blooming Grove Elementary is the district's weakest link, with a 1-star rating and a three-year decline in ranking to the 22nd percentile. Its test scores are consistently below state averages, with 5th-grade math proficiency at just 25% compared to the state's 47%. Blooming Grove Jh holds a steady 2-star rating but shows volatile performance, including a catastrophic drop in 7th-grade math proficiency from 40% to just 4.65% year-over-year.

Key takeaways include a critical weakness in middle school mathematics and a systemic struggle with social studies across the board. The elementary school's sustained decline likely feeds challenges in the middle school, while the high school's success suggests effective preparation for end-of-course exams. Interestingly, the school with the highest student-teacher ratio (Elementary at 20:1) performs worst, while the school with the lowest ratio (Middle School at 10.5:1) still has severe subject-specific failures, indicating that factors like curriculum and teacher quality are more critical drivers of success in this district.
