Summary

Amanda Rochell Elementary in Rockwall, TX, serves 423 students in grades PK-6 and is part of the highly-rated Rockwall Independent School District (Isd), though the school itself has faced significant academic challenges in recent years. The school’s overall state ranking has declined from a 3-star rating (53rd percentile) in 2021-2022 to a 2-star rating (40th percentile) in 2025-2026, making it one of the lowest-performing elementary schools within its high-achieving district. A critical factor is that over 63% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a much higher rate than most nearby district peers, which helps explain the performance gap.

Compared to other Rockwall ISD schools, Amanda Rochell’s academic struggles are stark. While nearby schools like Ouida Springer (90th percentile) and Dorothy Smith Pullen Elementary (89th percentile) rank in the top tier statewide, Amanda Rochell sits at the 40th percentile. The school’s math proficiency rates have consistently fallen below both district and state averages—for example, only 26.92% of 5th graders were proficient in math in 2025-2026, compared to 59.17% district-wide. Science scores are a major red flag, with just 12.07% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025 versus 35.55% in the district. Notably, Dorris A Jones Elementary, a peer school with a similar free/reduced lunch rate (60.69%), outperforms Amanda Rochell in nearly every subject, suggesting that higher performance is achievable even with similar demographics.

Despite these challenges, there are bright spots. Amanda Rochell has shown relative strength in serving English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the 76th percentile (4 stars) in 2024-2025, and Hispanic students (61st percentile in 2025-2026). However, performance for White students has declined sharply, from the 40th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 27th percentile in 2025-2026. The school’s Gifted and Talented program has also dropped from an 82nd percentile ranking in 2017-2018 to just the 50th percentile in 2024-2025. For parents, this school offers a mixed picture: strong support for certain student groups, but persistent gaps in math and science that require attention, especially when compared to higher-performing district peers.
