Summary:
Zip code 79545, serving the Roscoe, Texas area, is home to a single high school, Roscoe Collegiate High School, which serves grades 6 through 12 with a total enrollment of 307 students. This school stands out for its exceptional graduation rate of 97.8% and a remarkably low dropout rate of just 0.3%, which is a tiny fraction of the 4.4% dropout rate for the entire Roscoe Collegiate Independent School District (Isd). The school also benefits from a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.9:1 and a high per-student spending of $22,208, suggesting a personalized and well-resourced learning environment.
A key finding is the school's strong performance in core high school subjects, significantly outperforming state averages in Algebra I (67.65% proficient vs. 54.03% state) and English I Reading (73.33% vs. 55.43% state). However, this strength contrasts sharply with very low proficiency rates in middle school math (ranging from 3.23% to 15.63% in grades 6-8), indicating that while students may enter with academic challenges, the school is highly effective at accelerating their learning by high school. Performance is inconsistent across other subjects, with proficiency in Biology (66.67%) and U.S. History (59.52%) falling below state averages.
Despite these academic strengths and ample resources, the school's state ranking has been on a steady decline over the past three years, dropping from the 65th percentile to the 54th percentile. This paradox suggests that while the high school is a high-performing outlier within a lower-performing district (ranked in the bottom 24% of Texas districts), it may be facing external challenges that are impacting its overall standing. For parents, this school offers a small, supportive environment with a proven track record of getting students to graduation and excelling in key high school subjects, though it shows room for improvement in middle school grades and other core areas like science and history.
