Granbury Independent School District (Isd)

The Granbury Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 293 out of 968 school districts in Texas and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Oak Woods School, an elementary school, is the highest-ranked in the district, ranking 339 out of 4,647 Texas elementary schools and receiving a 5-star rating. It has exceptional test scores, with 65-87% of students proficient or better in reading and math. Acton Middle is the highest-ranked middle school in the district, ranking 401 out of 2,330 Texas middle schools and receiving a 4-star rating, with strong test scores in reading and math. Granbury High School also stands out, with a 94.3% four-year graduation rate and a 0.6% dropout rate, both better than the state averages.

However, the district also exhibits a wide range in school performance, with some schools struggling, even within the same district. Factors like socioeconomic status, as indicated by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and the district's focus on early childhood education, as seen in the low student-teacher ratio at Emma Roberson Early Learning Academy, may play a significant role in student outcomes. The challenges faced by the district's alternative high school, Stars Accelerated High School, also highlight the need for targeted support in specialized educational programs.
