Grand Saline Independent School District (Isd)


Summary:

The Grand Saline Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with a significant Hispanic minority, and faces challenges related to high poverty levels and academic disparities among its schools.

Grand Saline High School stands out with a strong 97.6% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is mixed, with some subjects like U.S. History and English II Reading performing above the district and state averages, while others like Algebra I and English I Reading lag behind. In contrast, the Van Zandt County Youth Multi-Service Center, an alternative high school, has significantly lower academic outcomes, with only 20% proficiency in English I Reading and Biology.

The data also reveals disparities in academic performance across the district, with the Grand Saline Intermediate school showing consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, while the alternative school lags behind. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a proxy for low socioeconomic status, may be contributing to these academic challenges. Additionally, the data suggests that smaller class sizes, as seen at Grand Saline High School, may be a contributing factor to academic success.
