Summary

Roanoke Elementary is a mid-sized school serving 705 students in grades PK-5 in Roanoke, TX, and is part of the highly-rated Northwest Independent School District (Isd). The school has a strong and consistent track record of academic performance, maintaining a 4-star rating for the past decade and currently ranking in the 84th percentile statewide. While Roanoke Elementary is a solidly performing school, it is surrounded by some of the highest-performing elementary schools in the state, such as Lakeview Elementary (94th percentile) and Samuel Beck Elementary (90th percentile), placing it as a strong, reliable option in a neighborhood of academic powerhouses.

One of the most notable differentiators for Roanoke Elementary is its significantly higher percentage of students from low socio-economic status (SES) backgrounds compared to its closest, highest-performing peers. With 32.6% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, it is starkly different from nearby schools like Samuel Beck (5.76%) and Lakeview (5.54%). The school has shown a dramatic turnaround in serving its low SES students, with their state ranking jumping from the 31st percentile in the 2023-2024 school year to the 69th percentile in the 2025-2026 school year, suggesting targeted and effective interventions have been implemented recently.

Roanoke Elementary excels in serving specific student groups, with its White students ranking in the 86th percentile statewide and its Gifted and Talented students ranking in the 75th percentile. However, the school's performance is more variable for other groups, with Hispanic students ranking in the 57th percentile and Special Education students in the 68th percentile. The school also administers the STAAR test in Spanish with highly variable results, indicating that the approach to bilingual education may be inconsistent. Overall, Roanoke Elementary is a good school that provides a stable, above-average education, and the recent dramatic improvement in outcomes for low SES students proves that the school has the capacity to make significant strides toward becoming a top-tier school.
