Summary:
The Red Oak Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from prekindergarten through 5th grade. These schools vary in their academic performance, with Shields Elementary standing out as the highest-ranked school in the district, ranking 1576 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While the district as a whole performs below the state average in reading, math, and science proficiency, Wooden Elementary excels in math, with the highest proficiency rates in 4th and 5th grades, and in Spanish reading, with 60% proficiency in 3rd grade compared to the district's 35.71% and the state's 17.02%. Shields Elementary also stands out, with the highest proficiency rates in reading and math across multiple grade levels compared to the district and state averages.
Despite the performance differences, the schools in the Red Oak ISD face similar challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.21% to 70.53%. The district's spending per student and student-teacher ratios are relatively consistent across the schools, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the performance disparities. Further analysis on the relationship between student demographics, socioeconomic factors, and academic outcomes could provide valuable insights to help the district support all of its students and schools.
