Middle Schools in Rio Grande City Grulla Independent School District (Isd)

The Rio Grande City Grulla Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to three middle schools: Veterans Middle, Ringgold Middle, and Grulla Middle. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the area.

Among the three schools, Grulla Middle stands out as a top performer, with the highest percentage of students proficient or better in 6th-grade STAAR/Reading and 100% proficiency in STAAR EOC/Algebra I. This strong academic performance may be attributed to Grulla Middle's low student-teacher ratio of 9.9, suggesting the benefits of smaller class sizes. In contrast, Veterans Middle excels in 8th-grade STAAR/Mathematics and STAAR/Social Studies, outperforming the district and state averages.

Despite these pockets of excellence, the middle schools in the Rio Grande City Grulla Independent School District (Isd) generally perform below the state averages in STAAR test scores, indicating a need for more consistent and targeted academic interventions across all grade levels and subjects. The district as a whole is ranked 566 out of 968 districts in Texas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting that the district-level challenges may be impacting the performance of individual schools.
