Summary

Nettie Baccus Elementary in Granbury, TX, serves 595 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Granbury Independent School District (Isd), and is a school where dedicated resources and a supportive environment are working to overcome significant challenges.

This school stands out for its high level of economic disadvantage, with over 76% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—a rate dramatically higher than nearby schools like Oak Woods School (37%) and Acton Elementary (43%). While Nettie Baccus spends more per student ($10,322) than the district average and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.5:1, its academic performance has not yet matched these investments. The school is currently the lowest-performing elementary in its district, with proficiency rates in Reading and Math significantly below both district and state averages. For example, in 4th Grade Math, only 34% of students were proficient, compared to the district average of 49%. This performance gap is a key concern for families considering the school.

There are some bright spots and interesting trends. In 3rd Grade Reading, students taking the Spanish-language STAAR test actually outperformed the district and state averages, suggesting a potential strength in early literacy for Spanish-speaking students. However, the school has seen a recent, broad decline in serving all student subgroups, including English Language Learners and Gifted & Talented students. The school’s history shows it can improve—it recovered from a low ranking in 2018-2019 to a high in 2022-2023—but has since slipped again. For parents, this means Nettie Baccus is a school with dedicated staff and resources, but one that is actively working to close a significant achievement gap compared to its more affluent neighbors like Oak Woods School, which serves a very different student population.
