Summary:
Rocketship Public Schools operates a single elementary public charter school, Rocketship Dennis Dunkins Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 in Texas. The school faces significant challenges, with low academic performance, a predominantly low-income student population, and a lack of racial diversity.
Rocketship Dennis Dunkins Elementary has alarmingly low proficiency rates in reading and mathematics, far below the state average. For example, in 3rd grade reading, the school's proficiency rate was just 14.29% compared to the state average of 48.85%. This raises concerns about the school's ability to provide quality education and prepare students for academic success. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students (78.83%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges that can impact educational outcomes.
The student population at Rocketship Dennis Dunkins Elementary is predominantly African American (71.99%), with relatively low representation of other racial/ethnic groups. This lack of diversity may limit the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience and prepare students for an increasingly diverse society. Furthermore, the Rocketship Public Schools district is ranked 963 out of 968 districts in Texas and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting broader systemic issues within the district that may be contributing to the challenges faced by Rocketship Dennis Dunkins Elementary.
