Amanda Rochell Elementary

Summary:

Amanda Rochell Elementary is a public elementary school in Rockwall, Texas, serving 408 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Rockwall Independent School District (ISD). While the district is highly ranked, Amanda Rochell faces some unique challenges compared to nearby schools.

Amanda Rochell has a more diverse student population, with higher percentages of African American (26.23%) and Hispanic (39.46%) students compared to nearby schools that tend to have more White students. Academically, the school's STAAR test scores lag behind the Rockwall ISD and Texas state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 29.82% to 42.11% in reading, versus 63.27% to 70.73% for Rockwall ISD and 48.85% to 54.45% for Texas. The school's performance is particularly low for African American, Special Education, and low-income students, placing it in the bottom 50% of Texas elementary schools for those subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools like Sharon Shannon Elementary, Virginia Reinhardt Elementary, and Dorothy Smith Pullen Elementary, Amanda Rochell has lower test scores, a lower statewide ranking, and a higher percentage of students from low-income families. These factors, along with the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, may be contributing to its declining performance over the past few years.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
