Summary

Rowland Elementary is a public elementary school in Victoria, Texas, serving 432 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Victoria Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 739 out of 961 districts in the state.

Rowland Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of Rowland Elementary students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 29.63% to 43.94%, compared to district averages of 42.02% to 49.82% and state averages of 52.02% to 57.83%. The school's STAAR Mathematics and Science proficiency rates are also notably lower than the district and state. Despite relatively high per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio, Rowland Elementary continues to struggle to improve academic outcomes for its students.

When compared to nearby schools within the Victoria ISD, such as Ella Schorlemmer Elementary, Vickers Elementary, and Martin De Leon Elementary, Rowland Elementary stands out with its particularly high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to its academic challenges. These nearby schools generally perform better on STAAR tests and have higher statewide rankings, suggesting that Rowland Elementary may need to re-evaluate its instructional practices and targeted interventions to address the unique needs of its student population.
