Summary

John & Barbara Roderick Elementary is a PK-5 school in Royse City, TX, serving 663 students within the Community Independent School District (Isd), where about 55% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of African American and Special Education students, who perform in the 67th and 70th percentiles respectively—a notable strength compared to the school’s overall ranking. However, the school’s student-teacher ratio of 19.2:1 is the highest among nearby schools, which may contribute to academic challenges. For example, nearby Frances And Jeannette Lee Elementary and Kathryn Griffis Elementary (both in the higher-ranked Caddo Mills Independent School District (Isd)) have ratios of 12.6:1 and 13.7:1, and consistently outperform Roderick in nearly every subject. Math performance at Roderick is particularly inconsistent, with 4th-grade proficiency swinging from 17% to 49% in recent years, while 5th-grade Science is a critical weakness—only 11% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, far below the state average of 30%.

Compared to its closest peer, Mildred B Ellis Elementary (also in Community ISD), Roderick performs better in 3rd and 4th-grade Reading but falls behind in 5th-grade Math (36% vs. 47%) and Science (11% vs. 29%). This suggests academic challenges may intensify in upper elementary grades, especially in STEM subjects. While the school shows a strong recovery in Reading for 2025-2026, Math scores in 3rd and 5th grades are projected to decline, highlighting uneven progress across subjects.
