Summary:
The Rio Hondo Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates three schools: one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. The district serves a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population, with all three schools having high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools, Rio Hondo High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.2% and stronger performance on STAAR EOC exams, particularly in English I Reading, English II Reading, and U.S. History. In contrast, Rio Hondo Middle School struggles the most, with consistently low proficiency rates in Mathematics across all grade levels. Rio Hondo Elementary School, on the other hand, has a relatively high percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 3rd and 4th grades, outperforming the district and state averages.
Overall, the Rio Hondo ISD as a whole appears to be struggling, with all three schools ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state. The district's overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger suggests that there is room for improvement across the board, particularly in addressing the equity concerns and the consistently low performance compared to state averages.
