While 8th graders outperform their younger peers in reading and math, 7th-grade math proficiency (19.15%) is a significant concern, well below the state average. The school shows relative strength in 8th-grade Social Studies, outperforming the state, but struggles in 8th-grade Science, where only 22.79% of students were proficient compared to the state average of 46.25%. Overall, Grulla Middle is part of the Rio Grande City Grulla Independent School District (Isd) and demonstrates a promising trend of improvement, especially for its top math students, while still facing challenges in core subjects like science and 7th-grade math.
