Summary:
The five schools in zip code 76567 (Rockdale, TX) serve approximately 1,543 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade, primarily within the Rockdale Independent School District (Isd), with one charter school, Rockdale Inspire Academy, operating under the Inspire Academies district.
Rockdale High School is the most consistent performer, with a 92.9% graduation rate and the highest test scores among the traditional schools, though still below state averages. Rockdale J H presents a paradox: while its general math scores are very low (e.g., 5.66% proficiency in 8th Grade Math), it excels in advanced math, with a 75.76% proficiency rate in Algebra I—far exceeding the district and state averages. Rockdale Intermediate shows mixed results, with 4th Grade Reading improving but 5th Grade Reading dropping significantly. Rockdale Elementary serves the youngest students. The standout outlier is Rockdale Inspire Academy, a small charter high school with a 95.08% Free/Reduced Lunch rate that recorded 0% proficiency in several core subjects, despite spending $20,473 per student—nearly double the per-student spending of the Rockdale ISD schools.
A key takeaway is the system-wide struggle in mathematics across all grade levels, with every grade-level math test falling below state averages. The high spending at Rockdale Inspire Academy is not translating into academic results, raising questions about resource allocation. Overall, the Rockdale Independent School District (Isd) ranks in the 23rd percentile of Texas districts, while the Inspire Academies district ranks in the 9th percentile, indicating significant challenges driven by high poverty rates.
