Summary

Grand Saline High School is a small, rural school in Grand Saline, TX, serving 363 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Grand Saline Independent School District (Isd). One of its standout strengths is an exceptional commitment to student retention, with a perfect 100% graduation rate in the 2023-2024 school year and a near-zero dropout rate—a feat matched only by nearby Alba-Golden High School and Edgewood High School. The school also shines in U.S. History, where 80.65% of students were proficient in 2023-2024, significantly outpacing the state average of 69.1%.

However, the school faces challenges in math, particularly Algebra I, where proficiency has consistently lagged behind state averages—only 46.67% of students were proficient in 2025-2026 compared to 54.03% statewide. This contrasts with high-performing neighbors like Canton High School (60.98%) and Van High School (66.39%). Interestingly, the school invests heavily in its students, with per-student spending of $14,018 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.6:1, which is more favorable than Wills Point High School (14.1:1) and Van (14.8:1). This suggests a focus on smaller classes and individualized attention.

Despite a dip in overall ranking in 2024-2025, the school has shown resilience, rebounding to the 50th percentile for 2025-2026. Compared to its closest neighbor, Fruitvale High School, Grand Saline outperforms in U.S. History (70.48% vs. 64.71%) but trails in Algebra I (46.67% vs. 60.87%). The school also has a notable area for improvement with its Gifted and Talented program, which ranked in the 10th percentile statewide, indicating a need to better challenge advanced learners. Overall, Grand Saline High School offers a supportive environment with strong graduation rates and history instruction, but parents should be aware of the math performance gap.
