Summary:
The 78662 zip code in Texas is home to a single elementary school, Red Rock Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Bastrop Independent School District (ISD). Red Rock Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools over the past three years, indicating persistent academic struggles. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (82.38%), and a high percentage (88.54%) of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting significant economic challenges.
Academically, Red Rock Elementary's STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the Bastrop ISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade reading, the school's proficiency rate was just 25.21%, compared to 28.6% for Bastrop ISD and 48.85% for the state. This significant gap in academic performance raises concerns about the school's ability to provide the necessary support and resources to help students achieve proficiency in core subjects.
Despite the school's slightly higher-than-average spending per student ($11,004), the persistent low performance and high poverty levels suggest that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to address the unique challenges faced by the student population. Further investigation into the school's instructional practices, targeted interventions, and resource allocation strategies may be necessary to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience for the children of the 78662 zip code.
