Summary:
The city of Red Rock, Texas is home to a single elementary school, Red Rock Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 698 students. The school is part of the Bastrop Independent School District (ISD) and has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 82.38% of students identifying as Hispanic.
Red Rock Elementary's academic performance is a concern, as the school's test scores on the STAAR exams are significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 25.21% of 3rd graders at Red Rock Elementary met the reading standard, compared to 28.6% in Bastrop ISD and 48.85% statewide. The school also has a high percentage of students (88.54%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4 to 1, which is slightly lower than the state average. However, the school's spending per student for the 2020-2021 school year was $11,004, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in effectively allocating resources and implementing strategies to improve student outcomes. The data suggests that Red Rock Elementary could benefit from targeted interventions and support, particularly in the areas of reading and mathematics, to help close the achievement gap with the state and district averages.
