Summary:
The city of Rio Vista, Texas is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Rio Vista Elementary, Rio Vista High School, and Rio Vista Middle. These schools are part of the Rio Vista Independent School District (Isd), which serves a predominantly white and economically disadvantaged student population.
Among the three schools, Rio Vista High School stands out as the top performer, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong academic outcomes. The high school outperforms the state and district averages on most STAAR end-of-course exams, has an impressive 96.7% four-year graduation rate, and a very low 0.0% dropout rate. In contrast, Rio Vista Elementary and Rio Vista Middle School both have lower 2-star ratings and generally underperform the state and district averages on STAAR reading and math assessments.
The data also reveals significant differences in resource allocation, with Rio Vista High School spending the most per student at $14,964, compared to $10,792 for Rio Vista Elementary and $9,916 for Rio Vista Middle. The high school also has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 10.3, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance. These insights suggest that the district should investigate ways to allocate resources more equitably and identify best practices from the high school to improve outcomes at the elementary and middle school levels.
