Grape Creek Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Grape Creek Isd

Grape Creek Independent School District, located in Tom Green County in Texas, serves students from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade across six schools: two elementary buildings, a middle school, a high school, and two specialized schools for accelerated learners and alternative education.

The district enrolls a student body that is roughly evenly split between White and Hispanic students, with small numbers of students from other racial and ethnic backgrounds. About half the enrollment sits in elementary grades through fifth, with the remaining students distributed through middle and high school. Free-and-reduced-price-lunch data was not available, so a reader cannot assess economic disadvantage from that measure.

Academic proficiency across the district is low by state standards. In elementary math, proficiency stands in the low range across grades three through five, with more students reaching proficiency in grade eight than in the earlier grades. In English language arts, the picture is slightly stronger in the middle grades, with grade six showing substantially higher proficiency than adjacent grades. Science proficiency in grades five and eight hovers around a third of students. Social studies proficiency in grade eight is notably low. Across all tested subjects, the vast majority of students reach an "approaches" level (the lowest proficiency tier), but far fewer reach "meets" or "master" standards. A parent may want to look into the district's literacy and mathematics support strategies with the school directly, as these are foundational areas where proficiency is weak.

Among Tom Green County's districts, Grape Creek ISD's overall proficiency index places it below the midpoint, and its chronic absenteeism rate is in the bottom quartile of the county group. Per-pupil spending falls in the middle-to-upper range within the county. The district has recently adopted a higher maintenance-and-operations tax rate, which directly increases the school property tax bill for homeowners.

Beginning in the 2025-2026 school year, the district is implementing state law prohibiting students from using personal electronic devices on school property during the school day, a change that will shape the daily school environment.

Housing values in the areas served by Grape Creek ISD are moderate, with the weighted district home value considerably below both state and national benchmarks. Rental costs in the district are also moderate relative to income. The local unemployment rate is historically typical, and median household income for the region is near the national average.

Graduation rate data was not available, so a reader cannot assess the high school completion pathway from this profile. The district operates both a standard high school and an accelerated school, giving families options if they seek an alternative academic pathway, and also maintains a DAEP (disciplinary alternative education program) campus. A prospective family should request information directly from the high school about college-readiness offerings, career pathways, and the scope of AP or dual-credit course access, as those specifics were not present in the available data.
