Summary

Lone Star Online Academy in Roscoe, TX, is a massive K-8 virtual school serving 11,686 students, part of the Roscoe Collegiate Independent School District (Isd), and its academic performance has consistently ranked among the lowest in Texas over the past four years.

This online academy stands out for its stark performance gap compared to nearby brick-and-mortar schools. For example, in 3rd grade math, only 8.85% of Lone Star students were proficient, while Roscoe Elementary—just 0.13 miles away in the same district—achieved a 72.97% proficiency rate, a 64-percentage-point difference. Similarly, Colorado Elementary And Middle (18.3 miles away) outperformed Lone Star in 3rd grade reading (39.71% vs. 23.46%) and math (44.12% vs. 8.85%). The school also reports a 6.1% dropout rate for a K-8 institution, which is exceptionally high and far above the 0.0% rate at Colorado Elementary and Middle, suggesting significant student disengagement.

Within the Roscoe Collegiate Independent School District (Isd), Lone Star Online Academy creates a "tale of two schools" dynamic: while Roscoe Elementary is a high-performing school (74th percentile, 4 stars), the online academy drags down the district's overall ranking (24th percentile) due to its massive enrollment and poor outcomes. Notably, the school's Gifted and Talented students ranked in the 0th percentile statewide, indicating the online format fails to challenge even its highest-ability learners. However, English Language Learner students have shown slight improvement, rising from the 2nd to the 8th percentile over recent years, suggesting some interventions may be starting to help.
