Summary:
The city of Gilmer, Texas is home to 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, serving students from diverse backgrounds. While the schools in the Gilmer Independent School District (ISD) generally outperform those in the Union Hill ISD, the data reveals both standout schools and areas for improvement across the district.
Gilmer High School and Bruce J.H. (Middle School) stand out as the top performers, with high rankings, impressive test scores, and strong graduation rates. In contrast, Union Hill High School and Sharon A. Richardson Elementary lag behind, with lower academic achievement and lower school ratings.
Across the district, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.01% at Gilmer High School to 80.92% at Gilmer Elementary, suggests a significant economically disadvantaged population that may impact academic outcomes and resource allocation. Understanding the factors contributing to the disparities in performance between the top-performing and lower-performing schools could help the district improve educational quality for all students in the Gilmer community.
