Rodriguez Elementary

Summary:

Rodriguez Elementary is a public elementary school located in San Marcos, Texas, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students.

Rodriguez Elementary faces significant challenges in academic achievement, as evidenced by its below-average STAAR test scores and low statewide rankings compared to other Texas elementary schools. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students at Rodriguez Elementary who were proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 43.94% (4th grade) to 54.69% (5th grade), compared to the state averages of 50.66% and 53.96%, respectively. Similarly, in STAAR Mathematics, the percentage of proficient or better students at Rodriguez Elementary ranged from 38.46% (5th grade) to 44.07% (3rd grade), compared to the state averages of 48.96% and 40.86%, respectively. The school's performance on STAAR Science for 5th grade was also lower than the state average, with 35.38% of students being proficient or better, compared to the state average of 26.29%.

Comparing Rodriguez Elementary to higher-performing schools outside the San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District, such as Hoffmann Lane Elementary in the Comal Independent School District, reveals a significant gap in academic achievement. Hoffmann Lane Elementary had significantly higher percentages of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels compared to Rodriguez Elementary. This suggests that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve academic outcomes and close the achievement gap at Rodriguez Elementary.

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.
