Summary:

Grapeland J H is a middle school located in Grapeland, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 137 students. The school is part of the Grapeland Independent School District, which is ranked 632 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Grapeland J H faces several key challenges compared to nearby schools and the state averages. The school has a higher percentage of White students (59.85%) compared to the more diverse student populations at Palestine J H and Crockett J H. Academically, Grapeland J H's performance on STAAR tests is generally lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with particularly low proficiency rates for African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students. The school also has a higher dropout rate, reaching 2.7% in 2021-2022, compared to the nearby schools.

Despite these challenges, Grapeland J H's small size and relatively low student-teacher ratio could present opportunities for more personalized instruction and targeted interventions to address the specific needs of its student population. However, the school's declining performance over the years, from a ranking of 1169 out of 2252 Texas middle schools in 2020-2021 to 1665 out of 2330 in 2022-2023, suggests that the school may need to explore ways to optimize resource allocation and address the underlying factors contributing to the academic and demographic disparities compared to the Elkhart Middle and other nearby 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.
