Summary:

The Rio Hondo Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, Rio Hondo Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a statewide ranking ranging from 2914 out of 4675 Texas elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 3589 out of 4651 in 2024-2025, and a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $9,936, and the student-teacher ratio for the 2023-2024 school year was 14.6, slightly higher than the state average.

Overall, the analysis of the single elementary school in the Rio Hondo ISD highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student performance, particularly in the areas of reading and mathematics. The high poverty levels at the school also suggest the importance of addressing the unique needs of the student population and ensuring equitable resource allocation within the district.
