Summary:
Grand Saline Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has a single middle school, Grand Saline Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a 2 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.
Grand Saline Middle's academic performance is a concern, with STAAR test scores generally lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 6th-grade reading proficiency rate was 40.4%, compared to the state average of 54.21%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students qualifying for free and reduced-price lunch, at 56.79% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
Despite these challenges, Grand Saline Middle's dropout rate is relatively low at 0.2% in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $12,707, which is slightly higher than the state average. While Grand Saline Middle's performance is below the state averages, it is generally on par with or slightly better than the overall performance of the Grand Saline Independent School District, indicating that the issues faced by the middle school may be reflective of broader district-level factors.
