Summary

Rodriguez Elementary in San Marcos, TX, is a K-5 school serving 445 students within the San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District, where over 73% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has shown a remarkable but volatile performance history, with a notable improvement in the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years that saw it climb to the 60th and 58th percentiles statewide, before a sharp decline in the most recent 2025-2026 data to the 28th percentile. This volatility sets Rodriguez apart from nearby district schools like Travis Elementary, Dezavala Elementary, and Bowie Elementary, which have consistently ranked in the bottom 20-30% statewide, while Rodriguez briefly broke away from this trend.

During its peak years, Rodriguez demonstrated exceptional effectiveness with specific student groups. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked in the 94th percentile statewide for its African American students, placing it in the top 6% of all Texas schools for this subgroup. Similarly, its performance with low-socioeconomic status students soared to the 84th percentile in 2024-2025, showing the school was highly effective at closing achievement gaps. However, the 2025-2026 data shows a catastrophic drop for this group to the 23rd percentile, mirroring the school's overall decline and suggesting a systemic issue rather than a problem with a single grade or subject. This decline is not isolated to one area—proficiency rates dropped across the board in both Reading and Mathematics for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades.

Within the San Marcos district, Crockett Elementary and Hernandez Elementary have established themselves as consistent high-performers, ranking in the 82nd and 83rd percentiles respectively in 2025-2026, suggesting Rodriguez lacks the consistent practices that make these schools reliable top performers. The contrast with nearby Comal Independent School District (Isd) schools is even starker—Hoffmann Lane Elementary, ranking in the 99th percentile, has a free/reduced lunch rate of just 7.23% compared to Rodriguez's 73.71%, highlighting significant socioeconomic disparities. Rodriguez's per-student spending of $13,917 is nearly double Hoffmann Lane's $7,571, indicating the school is investing heavily to overcome challenges that are largely absent in more affluent areas.
