Rockdale J H has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (50.32%) and African American (8.23%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. While the school's Hispanic and African American students perform better than the state averages in some subjects, the performance of English Language Learners, Special Education students, and At-Risk students is significantly lower. Rockdale J H has maintained relatively low dropout rates, but it has a high percentage of students (around 70%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to the nearby schools.

Rockdale J H's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from being ranked 736 out of 2,252 Texas middle schools in 2020-2021 to 1,549 out of 2,361 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby schools, such as Lexington Middle, Thrall Middle, and Milano J H, which have higher STAAR proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. These challenges suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of underperforming subgroups and improve overall student outcomes at Rockdale J H.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
