Best Public Schools in Santa Rosa, TX


Summary:

The city of Santa Rosa, Texas is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Santa Rosa Independent School District (Isd). While the schools share some common challenges, such as high poverty levels and inconsistent academic performance, a few standout schools emerge based on the data provided.

Jo Nelson Middle stands out for its strong Algebra I proficiency, with 61.9% of students meeting end-of-course standards in 2023-2024, well above the district and state averages. In contrast, Elma E Barrera Elementary and Santa Rosa High School face more significant academic challenges, with wide disparities in proficiency rates across grade levels and subjects. However, Santa Rosa High School impresses with a 97.3% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average.

Across the district, the schools serve predominantly Hispanic student populations, with 85.71% to 90.05% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high level of economic disadvantage likely contributes to the academic performance challenges observed. Despite these obstacles, the schools benefit from relatively low student-teacher ratios and higher per-student spending, which could be leveraged to provide more individualized support and resources to students.
