Summary:
Zip code 78662 is served by a single public elementary school, Red Rock Elementary, which educates 777 students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade as part of the Bastrop Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 16th percentile statewide.
Red Rock Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with test scores consistently well below state averages across all subjects and grade levels. The school's strongest relative performance is in 4th Grade Mathematics, where 34.51% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—the only instance where the school outperformed its district average. However, this still falls far short of the state average of 49.28%. The most concerning area is 5th Grade Science, where only 6.78% of students were proficient, compared to 29.57% statewide. Reading proficiency rates hover between 21% and 28% across grades 3-5, while math proficiency ranges from 15% to 34%, all significantly below state benchmarks. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 2-4% of Texas elementary schools for three consecutive years, earning a 0-star rating each time.
A critical factor affecting performance is the school's high rate of economic disadvantage, with 87.39% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch. With a student-teacher ratio of 15.4 and spending of $11,004 per student, the school serves as the sole educational option for families in this area, with no middle or high schools available locally. The persistent achievement gap—often exceeding 25 percentage points behind state averages—combined with no upward trend in rankings over the past three years, indicates systemic challenges that require comprehensive support to improve student outcomes.
