Best Public Schools in Gladewater, TX

Summary:

The city of Gladewater, Texas is home to 9 schools across 3 different school districts, serving students from elementary through high school. The schools in this area display a wide range of academic performance, with some standout institutions like Sabine High School and schools within the highly-ranked Union Grove Independent School District (ISD), while others like Gladewater Middle and Weldon Elementary struggle to meet state proficiency levels.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance, with Sabine High School ranking 650 out of 1,987 Texas high schools and boasting a 100% 4-year graduation rate, while other schools like Weldon Elementary and Gladewater Middle perform well below the state average on STAAR tests. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to these differences in performance.

The schools within the higher-ranked Union Grove ISD generally perform better than those in the lower-ranked Gladewater ISD, indicating a potential correlation between district-level factors and individual school performance. Additionally, schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as Gladewater Pri and Weldon Elementary, may face unique challenges in supporting their students' academic and social-emotional needs.
