Summary

Greathouse Elementary in Midland, TX, is a large PK-6 school in the Midland Independent School District (Isd) serving 872 students, and it has transformed into a high-performing school with a consistent 4-star rating and an 80th percentile statewide ranking.

Greathouse Elementary stands out as the highest-ranked school among its immediate peers, significantly outperforming nearby schools like Bonham Elementary (42nd percentile) and Barbara Yarbrough Elementary (28th percentile). Its closest competitor, Barbara Fasken Elementary, ranks at the 69th percentile. The school's 3rd-grade students are exceptional, with 65.6% proficient in Reading and 75.3% in Math—dramatically higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Greathouse is exceptionally effective at serving its African American student population, which ranked in the 98th percentile statewide. The school has a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students (35%) compared to neighbors like Bonham (75%) and Bush Elementary (66%), and its per-student spending ($8,526) is below the district average, suggesting efficient resource allocation.

While Greathouse excels in early grades, 6th-grade Math is a notable weakness, with only 42.2% proficient—below the district average. Science scores are also a challenge, as 5th-grade proficiency (21.1%) lags behind the district average (27.4%). The school has shown remarkable recent improvement in serving English Language Learners, jumping to the 82nd percentile, though this area requires continued focus. Compared to its closest neighbor, Parker Elementary (1.2 miles away), Greathouse consistently outperforms it (80th vs. 61st percentile), suggesting its instructional strategies and school culture are particularly effective. Overall, Greathouse's sustained upward trajectory from a 2-star school a decade ago to a consistent 4-star performer makes it a rising star in the district.
