Summary:
The Grand Saline Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two high schools: Grand Saline High School and Van Zandt County Youth Multi-Service Center. While both schools serve high school students, the data reveals a significant performance gap between them.
Grand Saline High School stands out as the stronger performer, with a larger student population of 341 and consistently higher proficiency rates on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Van Zandt County Youth Multi-Service Center, with only 11 students, struggles academically, with proficiency rates well below the district and state in subjects like Algebra I, Biology, and English I Reading.
The differences in student demographics, spending per student, and student-teacher ratios between the two schools may contribute to the performance gap. Grand Saline High School has a more diverse student population and spends $14,018 per student, while Van Zandt County Youth Multi-Service Center spends $10,464 per student and has a higher student-teacher ratio of 22.9. Despite these challenges, both schools maintain impressive graduation and dropout rates, indicating a focus on student success.
