Summary:
Union Hill Elementary is a public elementary school in Round Rock, Texas, serving 668 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Round Rock Independent School District (RRISD), which is ranked 216 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating.
While Union Hill Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (57.93%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, lags behind the RRISD and state averages across most grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 37.66% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 61.72% for RRISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school's rankings for specific student groups, such as Hispanic, African American, and English Language Learner students, are generally in the bottom half or bottom third of Texas elementary schools, indicating significant achievement gaps. Additionally, Union Hill Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.44% to 67.51% over the past three years, suggesting a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.
Interestingly, Union Hill Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined from 2018-2019 to 2023-2024, dropping from the 3rd to the 1st SchoolDigger star rating. This suggests a concerning trend in the school's overall academic performance. While the school's spending per student, ranging from $10,035 to $11,479 over the past three years, is higher than the state average, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. For example, Teravista Elementary, which is 1.52 miles away, consistently outperforms Union Hill Elementary across all grade levels and subjects.
