Summary:
The Van Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools: Van Middle and Rhodes Elementary. Both schools serve students from prekindergarten through 6th grade and are part of the larger Van ISD, which is ranked 387 out of 961 districts in Texas with a 3-star rating.
Based on the available data, neither Van Middle nor Rhodes Elementary stand out as exceptional performers. Van Middle is ranked 2780 out of 4651 Texas elementary schools and has a 2-star rating, while Rhodes Elementary does not have any statewide ranking or rating information available. Both schools generally perform below the state average on STAAR reading, math, and science tests, with some exceptions in certain grade levels and subjects.
The high free and reduced lunch rates at both schools, over 60%, suggest a significant population of students from low-income backgrounds, which could be a contributing factor to the schools' academic performance. Additionally, Rhodes Elementary spends more per student ($10,109) compared to Van Middle ($8,385), but this does not appear to translate to better academic outcomes. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve student outcomes across the Van ISD elementary schools.
