Summary
Ouida Springer is a PK-6 school in Rockwall, TX, serving 595 students as part of the highly-rated Rockwall Independent School District (Isd), and has recently surged to a 5-star rating in the 90th percentile statewide, making it the highest-ranked school in its immediate vicinity.
This school stands out for its exceptional and improving performance, particularly in mathematics. In the 2025-2026 school year, 4th and 5th-grade math proficiency rates were the highest among nearby schools, and 6th-grade math significantly exceeded both district and state averages. Ouida Springer also shows a remarkable recent improvement in serving its African American students, who now rank in the 93rd percentile statewide—a dramatic turnaround from just two years prior. The school consistently outperforms district averages across nearly all subjects and grade levels, a hallmark of effective school-wide practices. Notably, it outperforms its closest neighbor, Dorris A Jones Elementary (0.94 miles away), which ranks in the 78th percentile, though that school serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
The most compelling story at Ouida Springer is its broad-based, recent improvement. After years of solid performance, the school jumped to the 90th percentile in 2025-2026, with significant gains across nearly all student groups, including male, Hispanic, low socio-economic status, and gifted and talented students. This suggests a school-wide initiative that is effectively reaching all learners. However, there is a clear opportunity to enhance support for English Language Learner students, whose performance has declined and is reflected in lower Spanish-language test scores. Overall, Ouida Springer offers a strong, upward-trending academic environment for families in Rockwall.
