Groesbeck Independent School District's overall accountability rating has been raised from a D to a C after a successful appeal to the Texas Education Agency, district officials announced. The TEA granted the district's appeal of its final accountability rating for the 202425 school year, increasing Groesbeck ISD's overall score from 69, which corresponds to a D rating, to a 73, earning a C. The appeal also improved Groesbeck High School's rating, raising it from a 70 to a 79, both within the C category. Superintendent Scott Cummings said the revised ratings represent progress but acknowledged the district has more work to do. "This is not where we want to be as a school district," Cummings said in a message to the community. "Our staff, along with myself, have been leaving no stone unturned to improve our school academically." Cummings emphasized that continued improvement will require support beyond district staff, calling on parents, guardians and community members to play an active role in student success. "Although our staff is hardworking and committed to your child's growth, we cannot do this alone," he said. "With everyone's support, we can make Groesbeck ISD the place to raise a family."
