Summary

Blooming Grove Elementary in Blooming Grove, TX, serves 449 students in grades PK-5 within the Blooming Grove Independent School District (Isd), a rural district ranked in the 38th percentile statewide. The school has experienced a dramatic and concerning decline in academic performance over the past three years, dropping from a 3-star rating (62nd percentile) in the 2021-2022 school year to a 1-star rating (22nd percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year. This sharp downturn is particularly evident in mathematics, where 5th-grade proficiency fell from 55% (outperforming the state average) to just 25%—a full 22 percentage points below the state average. Nearby schools like Bowie Elementary in Corsicana have shown improvement or stability during the same period, rising from the 40th to the 59th percentile.

The school’s student-to-teacher ratio has increased dramatically from 13.6 in 2022-2023 to 20.0 in 2024-2025, a 47% jump that is significantly higher than all nearby schools. For comparison, Stafford Elementary (12.9), Frost Elementary (14.0), and Bowie Elementary (17.4) all maintain lower ratios, suggesting potential resource constraints or staffing challenges at Blooming Grove. The decline is systemic, affecting all student subgroups—Hispanic, White, Low Socioeconomic Status, and English Language Learners—all of which rank in the bottom 12th percentile or lower for the 2025-2026 school year. Notably, schools with similar or higher poverty rates, such as Sam Houston Elementary (80.8% free/reduced lunch) and Bowie Elementary (59.1%), are achieving significantly better academic rankings (45th and 59th percentiles, respectively), indicating that factors beyond socioeconomic status are driving the poor performance.

The school’s per-student spending ($9,885) is in the middle of the pack compared to neighbors, ruling out funding as the primary issue. Schools with both higher and lower spending, like Malone Elementary ($12,108) and Dorie Miller Intermediate ($8,896), are outperforming Blooming Grove. The school’s history shows a pattern of peaks and valleys—it was a 3-star school in 2015-2016, dropped to 1-star by 2016-2017, then climbed back to 3-star by 2021-2022—suggesting a cycle of instability. The current decline is even more severe, raising urgent questions about curriculum, instruction, and school culture that require immediate intervention.
