Summary

Groesbeck High School in Groesbeck, TX, serves 497 students in grades 9-12 and is the sole high school within the Groesbeck Independent School District (Isd), a mid-sized rural school that has shown a mix of strengths and challenges in recent years.

One of the school's standout strengths is its consistent performance in Biology, where 79.52% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year, well above the state average of 70.51%. This is a notable advantage over nearby schools like Mexia High School (57.14%) and Mart High School (68.42%). Additionally, Groesbeck has made remarkable progress in supporting English Language Learners (ELL), jumping from the bottom 5% of the state in 2023-2024 to the 81st percentile in 2025-2026—a turnaround that suggests effective new programs are in place. The school also maintains a strong graduation rate (91.7% in 2023-2024) and a very low dropout rate (0.9%), outperforming Mexia High School, which has a lower graduation rate (89.7%) and a higher dropout rate (2.5%).

However, Groesbeck's performance in core subjects like Algebra I, English I, and English II is inconsistent and often below state averages. For example, English II Reading proficiency was 48.06% in 2025-2026, over 11 percentage points below the state average. This contrasts with Teague High School, located just 16.5 miles away, which ranks in the 84th percentile and exceeds state averages in every subject. Interestingly, Groesbeck ISD spends more per student ($14,576) than Teague ISD ($13,192) or Mexia Independent School District (Isd) ($13,016), suggesting that targeted investments—like those that boosted ELL outcomes—could be applied to other areas to improve overall academic consistency.
