Summary

Idea Rio Vista Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 733 students in grades K-5 in Socorro, Texas. The school is part of the Idea Public Schools district, which is ranked 465 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While Idea Rio Vista Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past 5 years, with a 1-2 star rating, the school's performance varies significantly by student subgroup. For example, in the 2021-2022 school year, female students ranked in the top half of Texas elementary schools, while male students ranked in the bottom half. The school's STAAR test scores also trail the Idea Public Schools district and the Texas state average across reading, math, and science. Only 27.73% of 3rd graders at Idea Rio Vista Academy are projected to be proficient in reading in 2024-2025, compared to 52.02% statewide.

Idea Rio Vista Academy serves a high-needs student population, with 86-91% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past 3 years. The school also spends between $8,826 and $11,064 per student, which is lower than the nearby Socorro Independent School District schools. These factors likely contribute to the academic performance challenges the school faces, and addressing the performance gaps and low statewide ranking should be priorities for the school and district.
