Summary:
The Blooming Grove Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates three schools: one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. The data reveals a mix of standout performance and areas for improvement across the district.
Blooming Grove High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 662 out of 1,987 Texas high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an impressive 93.8% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate. Additionally, Blooming Grove High School's students exceed the state average on STAAR end-of-course exams in several subjects. In contrast, Blooming Grove Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 1,759 in 2021-2022 to 3,218 in 2023-2024, despite relatively high 5th-grade STAAR proficiency rates in reading and math.
The data also reveals potential equity concerns within the Blooming Grove ISD. Blooming Grove Elementary has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (64.02%) compared to Blooming Grove High School (52.43%), suggesting socioeconomic disparities. Additionally, the racial makeup of the schools varies, with Blooming Grove Elementary having a higher percentage of White and Hispanic students compared to the other schools. While Blooming Grove High School spends the most per student, this does not necessarily translate to the highest academic performance across all subjects, highlighting the need for further investigation into the factors driving student outcomes within the district.
