Summary

Rhodes Elementary is a PK-5 school in San Antonio, TX, serving 492 students within the Northside Independent School District (Isd), where about 71% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school has experienced a significant decline in overall state ranking over the past decade, dropping from the 56th percentile in 2016 to the 6th percentile in the most recent data.

One of the most striking findings is that Rhodes Elementary appears to operate as two distinct schools under one roof. While the school overall struggles, its Gifted and Talented students rank in the 85th percentile statewide—a massive outlier compared to the school's overall 6th percentile rank. This suggests a highly effective program for its highest-achieving students, but the general curriculum is failing the majority, particularly low-income students and English Language Learners. In contrast, nearby Thornton Elementary and Leon Valley Elementary are either stable or improving, with Leon Valley in the 52nd percentile. The school also shows inconsistent performance from grade to grade—for example, 5th-grade Reading proficiency was near the state average in 2023-2024, while 4th-grade Math proficiency was just 8.45%—indicating that student success may depend heavily on the specific teacher or team.

Rhodes spends $10,782 per student, which is higher than the nearby top-performing charter school Basis San Antonio Pri- Medical Center Campus ($7,350) and comparable to other struggling schools like Driggers Elementary ($11,843) and Glenoaks Elementary ($11,391). This suggests the school's challenges are not due to a lack of funding, but rather how resources are allocated. The proximity of Basis San Antonio, which achieves proficiency rates of 70-86% in Math and Reading compared to Rhodes' 14-42%, likely draws higher-achieving families away, concentrating at-risk students at Rhodes. A bright spot is the school's recent performance with African American students, who ranked in the 58th percentile, a significant improvement from the previous year.
