Summary:
In zip code 75844, located in the rural community of Grapeland, Texas, there is a single elementary school, Grapeland Elementary, which serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade with a total enrollment of 325 students.
Grapeland Elementary is part of the Grapeland Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 2-star overall state ranking. The school itself has a stable but low state percentile rank, hovering around the 39th percentile. A key strength is its 5th Grade Science performance, where 32.56% of students were proficient in the 2024-2025 school year, outperforming the state average of 29.57%. However, the school faces a significant challenge in Mathematics. Across all tested grades (3rd, 4th, and 5th), math proficiency rates are dramatically lower than the state average. For instance, in 4th Grade Math, only 26.67% of students were proficient compared to the state's 49.28%. The school's average math proficiency (30.73%) is nearly half its average reading proficiency (54.69%), indicating a systemic issue with math instruction.
With a student-teacher ratio of 16.7:1 and per-student spending of $8,583, the school has moderate resources. Over the past two years, reading scores have shown improvement in 3rd and 5th grades, but math scores have stagnated or declined. The school also serves a population where 52.62% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch. For parents, the most important takeaway is that Grapeland Elementary provides a solid reading program that is on par with state averages, but its math curriculum is a clear area of concern that the district should address with targeted interventions.
