Summary:
The 78548 zip code in Texas is home to two schools, Grulla Middle School and Grulla Elementary School, both part of the Rio Grande City Grulla Independent School District (ISD). While the district as a whole is ranked 566 out of 968 in Texas and has a 2-star rating, Grulla Elementary stands out as the stronger performer of the two schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Grulla Elementary boasts higher proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics across most grade levels compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Grulla Middle School generally performs below the district and state averages in STAAR assessments. Both schools have extremely high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a high level of poverty in the community, and their student populations are overwhelmingly Hispanic with very low representation of other racial/ethnic groups.
The difference in per-student spending between the middle school and elementary school may suggest funding disparities within the district. While Grulla Elementary appears to be a relatively strong performer, the low statewide rankings and mixed academic performance of these schools indicate room for improvement in the Rio Grande City Grulla ISD. Targeted interventions and resource allocation could help address the challenges faced by these schools and support the growth and success of their students.
