Rock Island Elementary has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 77.47% Hispanic students, 22.18% White students, and less than 1% African American students. The school's test scores are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 29.38% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 50.49% for the district and 52.63% for the state. Additionally, the school has a very high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 88.05%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the higher-than-average spending per student ($17,067) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1, Rock Island Elementary is still struggling academically. This may suggest that the resources are not being allocated effectively or that other factors, such as teacher quality or curriculum, are impacting student outcomes. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and community engagement, to support the students and improve educational outcomes.
