Summary:
The Rocketship Public Schools district in Texas operates two elementary schools: Rocketship Dennis Dunkins Elementary and Rocketship Explore Elementary. Both schools serve students in grades K-5 and have consistently low performance on STAAR reading and math assessments, with proficiency rates well below the Texas state average.
According to the data, neither Rocketship Dennis Dunkins Elementary nor Rocketship Explore Elementary can be considered standout schools in the district. Both schools have struggled to improve student outcomes, with most grades scoring below 20% proficient on STAAR assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 27.27% of 3rd graders at Rocketship Dennis Dunkins Elementary were proficient in reading, compared to the Texas state average of 52.02%.
The data also reveals that both Rocketship Dennis Dunkins Elementary and Rocketship Explore Elementary serve a high-need student population, with over 78% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic performance, suggesting that other factors, such as curriculum, instruction, or school leadership, may need to be addressed.
