Grimes Education Center

Summary:

Grimes Education Center is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Carrollton, Texas, part of the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District (CFBISD). With just 93 students, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Texas high schools over the past decade.

Grimes Education Center struggles with low academic performance, with only 8.33% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 41.14% for the CFBISD district and 44.73% for the state. The school also has a 4-year graduation rate of just 80.8%, well below the state average of 90%, and high dropout rates ranging from 6% to 17.5% over the past 5 years. Grimes' student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and economically disadvantaged students, all rank in the bottom 10-15% of their respective subgroups in Texas high schools.

When compared to other high schools in the CFBISD district and nearby charter schools, the performance gap is stark. For example, Early College High School ranked 70th out of 1,961 Texas high schools in 2022-2023 and had a 100% graduation rate, in contrast to Grimes Education Center's low rankings and graduation rates. This suggests that Grimes may be serving a more disadvantaged student population, which could contribute to its underperformance, despite the school's higher per-student spending of $26,701 in 2020-2021.

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.
