Blooming Grove High School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 662 out of 1,987 Texas high schools and maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an impressive 93.8% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate. In contrast, Blooming Grove Elementary and Blooming Grove JH have experienced declining performance, with their statewide rankings and star ratings dropping in recent years.
The data reveals disparities in STAAR proficiency rates across the schools and grade levels, with Blooming Grove Elementary students performing better on 5th-grade tests compared to their 3rd and 4th-grade counterparts. Additionally, the high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 52.43% to 64.02%, suggests that the district faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student performance. The district should closely examine these findings and develop targeted strategies to address the unique needs of each school and support student success across the district.
