Summary:
The Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District (Isd) is a high-performing district in Texas, ranking in the 87th percentile statewide, and includes 20 schools serving elementary through high school students across a diverse economic landscape.
The district's standout school is Iuniversity Prep, a 5-star school ranking in the 95th percentile with a 100% graduation rate and test scores far exceeding state averages, yet it operates with the lowest spending per student ($6,042) and the highest student-teacher ratio (37.1:1), suggesting a highly efficient online or blended-learning model. In contrast, The Bridges Academy Alter is a significant outlier, a 0-star alternative high school with a 4.0% dropout rate and critically low test scores (e.g., 0% proficient in Algebra I), despite having the highest spending ($13,386 per student) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (5.7:1). Among elementary schools, Glenhope Elementary, Taylor Elementary, Colleyville Elementary, and Heritage Elementary are all 5-star schools ranking in the 97th percentile or higher, while Timberline Elementary struggles with a 1-star rating and proficiency rates below state averages.
A key finding is a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and performance, with low-poverty schools like Taylor Elementary (6.85% free/reduced lunch) achieving top ratings, while high-poverty schools like Timberline Elementary (78.41% free/reduced lunch) face significant challenges. Additionally, middle school math is a district-wide weakness, with 7th-grade Mathematics STAAR proficiency rates at all four middle schools—Cross Timbers Middle (22.68%), Heritage Middle (30.19%), Colleyville Middle (23.4%), and Grapevine Middle (18.35%)—falling below the state average of 29.41%, though advanced students in Algebra I exams show elite performance, highlighting a wide achievement gap within these schools.
