Summary

Union Grove High School in Gladewater, TX, is a small, rural school serving 232 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the high-performing Union Grove Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in English and Biology, where it consistently outperforms both the state average and many nearby schools. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, 75% of students were proficient in English I and 80.7% in Biology, significantly higher than Longview High School (63% and 70.6%) and Pine Tree High School (60% and 63.4%). With a very favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.4:1 and higher per-student spending ($14,245), Union Grove uses its resources effectively to drive student success.

What truly differentiates Union Grove is its outstanding support for specific student subgroups. The school ranks in the 94th percentile statewide for serving Special Education students, a dramatic improvement from just two years prior, and also excels with Gifted and Talented students (94th percentile) and economically disadvantaged students (85th percentile). This targeted support helps close achievement gaps, making it a top-tier option compared to neighbors like Gladewater High School, which has lower scores and a higher poverty rate. The school also boasts a near-perfect graduation rate (98.3%) and an extremely low dropout rate (0.4%), on par with the best schools in the area like White Oak High School.

While Union Grove shines in most areas, its Algebra I proficiency (55.36%) is only slightly above the state average and is a relative weak point compared to its stellar English and Biology scores. This "Algebra I anomaly" represents a clear area for potential improvement. Overall, Union Grove offers a personalized, high-quality education with strong academic outcomes and exceptional support for students with diverse needs, making it a standout choice in the Gladewater area.
