Summary:
The Rio Hondo Independent School District (Isd) operates three schools serving grades K-12: Rio Hondo Elementary, Rio Hondo High School, and Rio Hondo Middle. The district faces several challenges, including low academic performance, high rates of economic disadvantage, and equity concerns.
While Rio Hondo High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.2%, the district as a whole struggles academically, with all three schools performing below the state average on standardized tests. Notably, Rio Hondo Middle School has a concerning 1.9% dropout rate, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, Rio Hondo Elementary has a very high percentage of Hispanic students at 94.07%, significantly higher than the state demographics.
The high percentages of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students across the district indicate a need to address equity and access issues to ensure these students are receiving the resources and support they need to succeed. The district's low overall ranking (704 out of 968 in Texas) and 1-star rating from SchoolDigger highlight the need for significant improvements across the Rio Hondo Independent School District (Isd) to better serve its students and community.
