Summary

Grapeland Elementary is a PK-5 school in the small, rural community of Grapeland, Texas, serving 325 students as part of the Grapeland Independent School District (Isd).

Grapeland Elementary stands out as a beacon of stability in a challenged region, outperforming nearby schools in Crockett Independent School District (Isd) (like Crockett Elementary and Early Childhood Center) and Palestine Independent School District (Isd) (like Southside Elementary), which rank in the bottom 10th percentile. While Grapeland's overall 2-star rating is modest, it is a clear step above these neighbors. The school's most impressive strength is its work with Special Education students, who now rank in the 69th percentile—a remarkable jump from just two years ago. However, there is a stark gender gap: male students perform well (59th percentile), while female students lag significantly (20th percentile). Reading is a relative bright spot, with 3rd graders scoring above the state average, but math is a critical weakness, with 4th graders a staggering 22.6 points below the state average. The Gifted and Talented program also underperforms, ranking in the 12th percentile.

On a positive note, the percentage of economically disadvantaged students has dropped from 63% to 53% in recent years, a promising trend for the community. The school maintains a competitive student-teacher ratio of 16.7 despite spending less per student than nearby districts like Elkhart Independent School District (Isd) (home to Elkhart Elementary and Elkhart Intermediate) and Slocum Independent School District (Isd) (home to Slocum Pk - 8), which are consistently higher-performing. This suggests Grapeland Elementary operates efficiently, but the lower spending may contribute to its persistent math struggles. For parents, this school offers a stable, improving environment with notable strengths in special education and reading, but it requires attention to math instruction and support for female and advanced learners.
