Summary

Jack & Sharon Rhoads Elementary is a public school in Katy, TX, serving 703 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Katy Independent School District (Isd).

Rhoads Elementary has experienced a significant decline in academic performance over the past decade, dropping from a 4-star rating (74th percentile) in 2017-2018 to a 1-star rating (28th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year. This is a stark contrast to nearby Ursula Stephens Elementary, which serves a similar percentage of students from low-income households (about 79%) but maintains a much higher ranking in the 83rd percentile. The school's most critical weakness is mathematics, where proficiency rates are roughly half the district average—for example, only 21% of 3rd graders met math standards compared to 55% district-wide. However, Rhoads shows a unique strength in its Spanish-language STAAR testing program, with 5th grade Spanish reading proficiency (69%) far exceeding both district and state averages, suggesting the bilingual program may be highly effective even as general education struggles.

Despite a low student-teacher ratio of 11.5:1—better than many nearby schools like Brosnahan Elementary (15:1)—this resource advantage has not translated into higher test scores. Per-student spending of $11,606 is higher than some higher-performing peers, indicating that resource allocation and instructional strategies may need adjustment. The school's performance for specific student groups is a concern, particularly for Asian and African American students, who rank in the bottom 13th and 12th percentiles statewide, respectively. While reading scores in upper grades are closer to state averages, the persistent math challenges and overall decline suggest a school in transition that may benefit from targeted interventions to better serve all its students.
