Summary:
Zip code 75845, serving the Groveton area, contains a single elementary school, Groveton Elementary, which serves grades PK through 5 and is part of the Groveton Independent School District (Isd).
Groveton Elementary has experienced a significant decline in its state ranking over the past three years, dropping from the 48th percentile to the 14th percentile, which places it in the bottom 14% of Texas elementary schools. The school's math scores are a major concern, with a particularly sharp drop in 4th grade—proficiency fell from 43.64% in 3rd grade to just 17.24% in 4th grade during the 2024-2025 school year, far below the state average. Science is also a critical weakness, with only 18.6% of 5th graders proficient compared to the state average of 29.57%. Despite spending $11,028 per student—above the state average—academic outcomes remain well below par, raising questions about how funds are being used. The school serves a high-poverty population, with over 61% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
There is one positive trend: 5th-grade Reading showed notable improvement, rising from 33.33% to 47.73% proficiency, which is the school's strongest relative performance against the state. This suggests a potentially effective reading program or teacher at that grade level that could be studied and replicated. Overall, Groveton Elementary faces systemic challenges, particularly in math and science, and its rapid ranking decline indicates that current strategies are not effectively addressing these issues.
