Summary:
In zip code 76626, there is one middle school, Blooming Grove Jh, serving grades 6 through 8 in the Blooming Grove Independent School District (Isd), with a total enrollment of 198 students and a moderate level of economic disadvantage as indicated by a 45.96% free/reduced lunch rate.
Blooming Grove Jh shows a concerning declining state ranking trend, dropping from the 48th percentile in 2024-2025 to a projected 37th percentile for 2025-2026, placing it in the bottom half of Texas middle schools. A standout issue is extreme weakness in Social Studies, where only 5.8% of 8th graders were proficient in 2024-2025 compared to the state average of 29.64%. Additionally, 7th Grade Math proficiency is projected to crash from 40.38% in 2024-2025 to just 4.65% in 2025-2026, a dramatic decline that requires immediate investigation. On a positive note, the school has a 0.0% dropout rate and a very low student-teacher ratio of 10.5, which typically allows for more individualized attention.
Despite these challenges, there are bright spots in 8th grade, where projected 2025-2026 proficiency in Reading (62.75%) and Math (48.61%) both exceed state averages. The school also outperformed the state in 8th Grade Science in 2024-2025 (54.29% vs. 46.25%). However, the overall declining trajectory suggests that the benefits of small class sizes are not being fully leveraged to overcome academic hurdles, particularly in Social Studies and 7th Grade Math. The district itself is ranked 593 out of 951 (38th percentile) with a 2-star rating, reinforcing the need for targeted interventions to reverse the school's downward trend.
