Best Public Schools in Rowlett, TX


Summary:

The city of Rowlett, Texas is home to 15 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Garland Independent School District (ISD) except for one school that is part of the Rockwall Independent School District. The data reveals a diverse educational landscape, with some standout schools like Keeley Elementary and Herfurth Elementary consistently ranking among the top schools in Texas, while others struggle to meet academic standards.

Keeley Elementary and Herfurth Elementary are the top-performing schools in the area, with significantly higher proficiency rates in reading, math, and science compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, schools like Steadham Elementary, Liberty Grove Elementary, and Rowlett Elementary have proficiency rates well below the district and state levels. The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free and reduced-price lunch rates, and academic performance, with schools serving more economically disadvantaged students tending to have lower proficiency rates.

While Rowlett High School has a respectable 2-star rating and a graduation rate above the state average, the overall performance of the schools in the Garland ISD, which has a 2-star rating, indicates that the district may face systemic challenges in providing high-quality education across all its schools. The presence of a public charter school, Education Center International Academy 2, suggests that families in Rowlett have access to alternative educational options beyond the traditional public school system.
