Summary

Glen Rose Junior High School serves 497 students in grades 6-8 within the highly-rated Glen Rose Independent School District (Isd), a district ranking in the 91st percentile statewide. This mid-sized middle school has earned a 4-star rating from Schooldigger for six consecutive years and boasts a perfect zero percent dropout rate over the last five years, reflecting a supportive school culture that keeps all students engaged.

Glen Rose Junior High stands out for its exceptional reading proficiency, with 8th-grade reading scores (79.01%) far exceeding the state average (58.69%) and outperforming nearby schools like Godley Middle (55.82%) and Granbury Middle (49.81%). The school also excels in social studies, where 8th-grade proficiency (55%) is nearly double the state average (31.69%) and significantly higher than Acton Middle (40.22%). Its Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 90th percentile statewide, and the school effectively serves all students, with Hispanic and low socio-economic status students performing in the 78th and 75th percentiles, respectively. However, math proficiency is a notable weakness, with 7th-grade math (23.08%) falling below the state average (29.41%), though advanced 8th graders taking Algebra I achieve strong results (79.66% proficient).

Compared to Granbury Middle, which is only 14.7 miles away but serves a more economically disadvantaged population (62.25% vs. 34.41% at Glen Rose), Glen Rose Junior High demonstrates the strength of its district and community support. While Tolar J H and Acton Middle are also strong performers, Glen Rose maintains a higher and more consistent statewide rank, fluctuating between the 79th and 85th percentile over the past three years. For parents, this school offers a clear identity: outstanding reading and social studies instruction, a strong advanced learner program, and a focus on equity, with math improvement as the primary area for growth.
