Grapeland Elementary

Summary:

Grapeland Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Grapeland Independent School District (ISD) in Grapeland, Texas. The school has a student population of 310 and a racial makeup that is predominantly White (64.84%), with significant populations of African American (21.61%) and Hispanic (7.74%) students.

Grapeland Elementary has faced some challenges in recent years. Its statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 2,168 out of 4,581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 3,906 out of 4,479 in 2018-2019. The school's performance has also varied across different student subgroups, with its Hispanic students performing relatively well but its African American students struggling. Additionally, the school's STAAR test scores in reading, math, and science have generally lagged behind the state and district averages, particularly in 4th-grade reading and math.

Compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Westwood Pri, Southside Elementary, and Crockett Elementary, Grapeland Elementary generally performs worse on key metrics like statewide ranking, STAAR test scores, and student-teacher ratio. This suggests that the school may have room for improvement and could potentially learn from the practices and strategies employed by higher-performing neighboring schools.

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.
