Summary

Oralia R Rodriguez Elementary is a K-5 campus in the Seguin Independent School District (Isd) serving 499 students in a high-poverty area, where over 84% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has experienced a sharp and concerning decline in recent years, dropping from a solid 3-star rating and the 51st percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to a 1-star rating and the 20th percentile in 2025-2026. This downturn is particularly striking when compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Patlan Elementary, which ranks in the 58th percentile despite serving a similarly high-poverty population (79.48%), and Koennecke Elementary, which has maintained a consistent 3-star rating over the same period.

Despite the overall struggles, Rodriguez Elementary has notable strengths that set it apart. The school's bilingual program is highly effective, with 4th-grade students taking the STAAR Spanish test achieving 61.54% proficiency in Reading and 46.15% in Math in 2025-2026—significantly higher than the school's English-language test scores and well above state averages for the Spanish test. Additionally, the school excels in serving its Special Education students, who ranked in the 56th percentile statewide, making this the school's highest-performing subgroup. These bright spots suggest that targeted programs are working well and could serve as models for improvement in other areas.

The school's most pressing challenge is its struggle to support economically disadvantaged students, who make up 84.57% of the student body—the highest rate among its Seguin ISD peers. Performance for this group has plummeted from the 66th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 22nd percentile in 2025-2026. This decline is not uniform across the district, as schools like Weinert Elementary (64.56% poverty) and Vogel Elementary have not seen similar drops. The comparison with Patlan Elementary, which achieves much higher results with a similar poverty rate, strongly indicates that school-level factors—such as instructional quality and leadership—are key to turning things around. Rodriguez Elementary is at a critical juncture, with clear strengths to build on and an urgent need for intervention to reverse its recent decline.
