Summary:
The three schools in zip code 75845 (Groveton, TX) serve 899 students across two districts, Groveton Independent School District (Isd) and Centerville Independent School District (Isd), offering a mix of traditional elementary and secondary education alongside an alternative high school.
The standout school in the area is Centerville High School, an alternative school that defies expectations by posting the highest graduation rate (91.7%) and a 0.0% dropout rate. Its End-of-Course exam scores are exceptional, with Algebra I proficiency at 93.33% and English I Reading at 86.67%, far exceeding state averages. This success is likely tied to its small class sizes (9.1:1 student-teacher ratio) and higher spending per student ($14,521). In contrast, Groveton J H-H S serves as a consistent middle performer (3-star rating) but reveals a critical weakness: an "8th Grade Math Cliff" where proficiency drops from 58.14% in 6th grade to just 9.38% in 8th grade, signaling a systemic issue in math instruction. Groveton Elementary is the weakest link, with a steep decline from the 48th to the 14th percentile and proficiency rates well below state averages in reading and math.
Key metrics show an average graduation rate of 89.7% and a low dropout rate of 0.4%, but economic disadvantage varies widely—over 60% of students in Groveton ISD schools qualify for free/reduced lunch versus 39.31% at Centerville High School. The data reveals an inverse relationship between spending and performance: the lowest-spending school (Groveton Elementary at $11,028 per student) has the worst outcomes, while the highest-spending school (Centerville High School at $14,521) excels. For parents, this means Centerville High School offers a highly effective alternative path, while Groveton ISD schools face foundational challenges, particularly in math, that require close attention.
