Summary:
In zip code 79039, there is a single elementary school, Grandview-Hopkins Elementary, serving grades Kindergarten through 6th grade in the rural community of Groom, Texas, with a very small total enrollment of just 49 students.
Grandview-Hopkins Elementary is part of the Grandview-Hopkins Independent School District (Isd) and presents a mixed picture for parents. On one hand, the school offers an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 8.3:1 and spends over $27,500 per student, which is more than double the national average. This suggests a high level of individualized attention. However, the school's academic performance has been volatile. It earned a strong 4-star rating and ranked in the 76th percentile in 2023-2024, but has since declined to a 3-star rating and the 52nd percentile in the projected 2025-2026 ranking. Test scores are inconsistent by grade level; for example, 4th graders in the 2025-2026 data scored 60% proficient in both Reading and Math, exceeding state averages, while 3rd and 5th graders fell below state averages in Math. Science is a notable weakness, with only 14.29% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 29.57%.
Key takeaways for parents include the school's "small school paradox," where high spending and low class sizes have not translated into consistently strong academic results. The 4th grade class appears to be a standout cohort, outperforming other grades and the state, but overall math proficiency has shown a downward trend year-over-year. While the school provides a close-knit environment with significant resources per student, its recent ranking decline and specific academic weaknesses, particularly in science and some math grades, are important factors to consider when evaluating the school's current performance.
