Summary:
Oak Point, Texas, is served by two public schools—Oak Point Elementary (grades PK-5) and Rodriguez Middle (grades 6-8)—which belong to two different districts: Little Elm Independent School District (Isd) and Denton Independent School District (Isd), respectively. This split-district arrangement creates a fragmented educational path for local students.
Oak Point Elementary stands out as the stronger school overall. It holds a 3-star rating and has improved its state percentile rank from the 56th to the 58th percentile, outperforming its district and the state in 3rd and 4th Grade Reading and 3rd Grade Math. In contrast, Rodriguez Middle has a 2-star rating and has declined from the 35th to the 27th percentile, consistently underperforming its district and the state in core subjects. However, Rodriguez Middle boasts an exceptional Algebra I program, with 87.04% of its students proficient on the End-of-Course exam—far exceeding the district (46.4%) and state (54.03%) averages. This "Algebra I anomaly" contrasts sharply with its general math struggles, where only 7.25% of 7th graders were proficient.
Key metrics reveal an inverse relationship between resources and performance: Rodriguez Middle has a better student-teacher ratio (10.8:1) and slightly lower spending per student ($9,977) than Oak Point Elementary (15.6:1 and $10,785), yet its academic outcomes are much lower. Both schools show a troubling decline in math proficiency as students advance, from 50% in 3rd Grade Math at Oak Point to just 7.25% in 7th Grade Math at Rodriguez. Additionally, Oak Point Elementary’s Spanish-language STAAR test takers perform far below state averages, indicating a need for targeted support for English Language Learners. The city’s lack of a public high school means students must eventually leave Oak Point for their final years of education.
