Summary

Grand Saline Intermediate in Grand Saline, TX, is a public school serving 244 students in grades 3 through 5 within the Grand Saline Independent School District (Isd), and it has shown a remarkable upward trend, climbing from the 16th percentile statewide a decade ago to a 4-star rating in the 73rd percentile today.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, ranking in the 87th percentile statewide for effectiveness with this group—far outperforming nearby schools like Mineola Intermediate (56th percentile). Grand Saline Intermediate also demonstrates consistent strength in mathematics, with proficiency rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades (52%, 62%, and 59%) that are well above state averages. While the school has shown volatility in special education performance, its most recent data places it in the 81st percentile for this subgroup, a significant improvement. In contrast, some neighboring schools have declined; for example, Van Middle dropped from the 59th to the 33rd percentile in recent years.

A key area for growth is 5th-grade science, where proficiency has consistently lagged below state averages, a challenge shared by many area schools like Mineola Intermediate and Van Middle. Despite this, the school’s spending of $10,938 per student appears efficient, as it achieves higher rankings and test scores than many peers with similar or higher budgets. Overall, Grand Saline Intermediate is a school on a strong upward trajectory, particularly effective for students from low-income families, and a standout within its district.
