Summary

Grapeland J H is a small middle school in Grapeland, TX, serving 104 students in grades 6 through 8 as part of the Grapeland Independent School District (Isd), with over half of its students from low socio-economic backgrounds. The school stands out for its exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.9, which is much smaller than nearby schools like Elkhart Middle (14.2) and Palestine J H (12.8), suggesting more individualized attention for students.

Grapeland J H has a notable strength in advanced mathematics, with 8th graders consistently scoring high on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam—72.73% proficient in 2025-2026 compared to the state average of 54.03%. The school also excels in 8th Grade Social Studies, outperforming nearby Crockett J H and Palestine J H in recent years. However, the school faces significant challenges in general math, with proficiency rates for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders well below state averages, and its overall statewide rank has dropped sharply from the 51st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 27th percentile in 2025-2026.

While Grapeland J H provides a stronger education than Crockett J H, which ranks in the 11th percentile, it lags behind Elkhart Middle in reading and general math. The school also struggles to serve all students equitably, with special education and African American subgroups ranking in the 1st and 3rd percentiles statewide, respectively. The low student-to-teacher ratio is an underutilized asset that, if paired with targeted support, could help the school improve its inconsistent performance and better serve its diverse student body.
