Summary:
This analysis examines six elementary schools in zip code 76051 (Grapevine, TX), all part of the highly-rated Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District (Isd), serving grades PK through 5 with enrollments ranging from 411 to 593 students.
The standout school in the area is Heritage Elementary, which consistently earns a 5-star rating and ranks in the 97th percentile statewide, significantly outperforming district and state averages in reading and math. In contrast, Timberline Elementary faces the greatest challenges, with the lowest state ranking and a concerning 5th Grade Science score of just 6.82% in 2024-2025. Silver Lake Elementary shows the most improvement, jumping from the 61st to the 77th percentile and earning a 4-star rating. Other schools like Grapevine Elementary and Cannon Elementary perform near district averages, while Dove Elementary ranks in the bottom half despite having the highest spending per student at $11,824.
A key finding is the spending paradox: the two highest-spending schools, Dove and Timberline, are among the lowest-performing, suggesting higher spending addresses greater student needs rather than driving performance. Science is a universal weakness across the district, with only Cannon exceeding the state average in 5th Grade Science. The student-teacher ratio varies from 12:1 at Cannon to 16.4:1 at Heritage and Grapevine. Overall, parents should note the wide performance gap within this single district, with Heritage offering top-tier academics and Timberline requiring additional support, while Silver Lake demonstrates strong upward momentum.
