Rio Grande City Grulla Independent School District (Isd)

Summary:

The Rio Grande City Grulla Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 15 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 566 out of 968 in Texas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out in the district, including Preparatory For Early College High School, which ranks 311 out of 1,987 Texas high schools and is rated 4 out of 5 stars. This school has an impressive 99.2% four-year graduation rate and strong performance on STAAR exams. Grulla Elementary and Ringgold Elementary are also high-performing elementary schools, ranking in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools and earning 4-star ratings.

However, the data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district. While some schools excel, others like John & Olive Hinojosa Elementary and La Union Elementary struggle, with proficiency rates well below the state average. The district's high poverty levels, with most schools having over 90% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, likely contribute to these challenges. Addressing these disparities and supporting all students to reach their full potential will be crucial for the Rio Grande City Grulla Independent School District (ISD) in the future.
