Summary:
The 75140 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, all part of the Grand Saline Independent School District (ISD). While the district is ranked 651 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few schools stand out with promising performance.
Grand Saline Intermediate, an elementary school serving grades 3-5, has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 2 stars to 3 stars in recent years. Its reading and math proficiency rates are also above the district and state averages in most grade levels. In contrast, Grand Saline High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 97.6% and a low dropout rate of 0.2%, but its performance on STAAR end-of-course exams is mixed, with some subjects performing better than the district and state averages, while others are below average.
Across the district, the schools have relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.79% to 63.67%, indicating significant economic challenges in the area. The district's spending per student is also on the lower end, ranging from $10,464 to $14,018 per student, which may be a contributing factor to the mixed academic performance observed. However, the small school sizes, with student-teacher ratios ranging from 11.7 to 15.0, could allow for more personalized attention and support for students.
