Summary:
The River Road Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools: Rolling Hills Elementary and Willow Vista Eca. Both schools have struggled academically, with low rankings and test scores significantly below the state averages.
According to the data, Rolling Hills Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20-25% of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 3,375 and 4,092 out of over 4,600 schools. Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, Rolling Hills Elementary's 5th-grade proficiency rates were 34.25% in Reading, 30.56% in Mathematics, and 16.67% in Science, compared to the state averages of 57.83%, 46.24%, and 29.57%, respectively.
The high free and reduced lunch rates at both schools, over 60% at Rolling Hills Elementary and 78.28% at Willow Vista Eca, suggest that the student population comes from predominantly low-income families, which could be a contributing factor to the schools' academic challenges. While Willow Vista Eca has a higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio compared to Rolling Hills Elementary, this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the district as a whole.
