Summary

John & Barbara Roderick Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Royse City, Texas, part of the Community Independent School District. With 752 students, the school has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom 30% of Texas elementary schools and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger in 2024-2025.

The school's performance on STAAR tests is below state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 11.24% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Science, compared to 20.91% for the district and 29.57% for the state. The school's performance is particularly weak for certain student subgroups, with Hispanic and English Language Learner students ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools in 2023-2024.

When compared to nearby schools, such as McClendon Elementary, which is part of the same school district, John & Barbara Roderick Elementary appears to be underperforming. McClendon Elementary consistently outperforms John & Barbara Roderick Elementary on STAAR tests and has a higher SchoolDigger rating. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (58.24% in 2023-2024) may be contributing to its academic challenges, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support.
