While Grand Saline Intermediate's Gifted and Talented program appears to be a relative strength, the school faces several challenges. Its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state average across grade levels and subject areas. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 1,853 and 3,732 out of around 4,600 schools over the past decade. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its White and Hispanic students generally performing better than its African American, English Language Learner, and Special Education students.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Mineola Elementary and Van Middle, Grand Saline Intermediate generally performs worse academically. Furthermore, the school's academic performance has shown a concerning trend of declining STAAR scores and school rankings over the past several years, despite its relatively high spending per student, which ranged from $9,243 to $11,332 over the past few years.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
