Summary:
Rowland Elementary is a public elementary school in Victoria, Texas, serving 421 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Victoria Independent School District, which is ranked 801 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Rowland Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 4,000-4,500 out of around 4,600 schools. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 20% of 3rd graders, 22.58% of 4th graders, and 27.69% of 5th graders were proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to district averages of 34.97%, 39.11%, and 44.46%, and state averages of 48.85%, 50.66%, and 53.96%. The school's performance is also consistently lower for all student subgroups, with the rankings for African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students particularly low.
Despite the school's persistent academic underperformance, its funding and resources are not significantly lower than nearby higher-performing schools, such as Ella Schorlemmer Elementary, Vickers Elementary, and Rodolfo Torres Elementary. This suggests that the challenges may not be solely related to resource constraints, and that a comprehensive review of the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems may be necessary to address the unique needs of its diverse student population and improve academic outcomes.
