Summary

Grapeland High School is a small, rural school in Grapeland, TX, serving 145 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Grapeland Independent School District (Isd).

Grapeland High School stands out for its strong recent academic growth, climbing from the 36th to the 60th percentile statewide over the last three years—a steady upward trend not seen in nearby schools like Elkhart High School or Slocum High School, which have experienced more volatile rankings. The school particularly excels in English Language Arts, with English I and II proficiency rates (63.41% and 65.12%) that beat the state average and outperform larger schools like Palestine High School and Crockett High School. With a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 7.5:1, students likely receive more individualized attention than at many neighboring schools. The school also shows exceptional effectiveness with specific groups, as female students and Gifted & Talented students rank in the 72nd and 78th percentiles statewide, respectively.

However, the school faces clear challenges. While it shines in English and Biology (73.17% proficient), Algebra I proficiency (42.42%) lags well behind the state average (54.03%), indicating a need for targeted math support. The most urgent concern is the performance of Special Education students, who have ranked in the bottom 18th percentile for three consecutive years. Additionally, while the graduation rate remains high at 89.2%, it has declined from 100% in 2020-2021, and the dropout rate has crept up to 1.8%. Despite these issues, Grapeland effectively supports its student body, outperforming Palestine High School and Crockett High School even with a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students than the top-performing Elkhart High School or Slocum High School.
