Summary:
The two elementary schools in zip code 77619 (Groves, TX) are Groves Pri and Groves Intermediate, which together serve students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade as part of the highly-rated Port Neches-Groves Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 71st percentile statewide.
Groves Pri (PK-2nd grade) provides a strong foundation with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.9:1, which is lower than the intermediate school's 14.9:1, allowing for more individualized attention for younger learners. Over half of its students (55.63%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, a figure that remains stable at Groves Intermediate (53.69%), indicating consistent socioeconomic demographics across the pipeline. The standout school is Groves Intermediate (3rd-5th grade), which shows a clear strength in reading, particularly in 5th grade where 72.55% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, significantly outperforming the state average of 57.83%. However, mathematics presents a persistent challenge, especially in 4th grade, where proficiency rates have lagged behind both district and state averages in recent years.
A notable pattern is the "5th Grade Bounce," where scores in both reading and math jump considerably from 4th to 5th grade, suggesting the school's curriculum is especially effective in the final elementary year. For instance, 5th-grade reading proficiency was 28.42 percentage points higher than 4th-grade reading in 2024-2025. While the schools excel in reading across all grades, they underperform in math compared to state averages, indicating an area for potential district focus. Overall, these schools offer a solid educational experience with a strong early learning environment and a clear academic strength in reading, particularly for students in their final year of elementary school.
