Rosebud-lott El, Lott TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Rosebud-lott El

Rosebud-Lott Elementary serves a small, agriculturally rooted community in central Texas, drawing students from Lott and surrounding areas of Falls County. The school sits on Highway 77 in Lott, a compact rural town of a few hundred residents where most families own their homes and most people know each other. The area's economy centers on farming and ranching, with some residents commuting to larger towns nearby for work.

The school enrolls a small cohort across prekindergarten through sixth grade. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the enrollment reflects the region's demographic makeup: predominantly white and Hispanic, with smaller numbers of Black and multiracial students. Specific data on students receiving special education or English learner services was not available.

Test results from the most recent year show mixed proficiency across subjects and grades. In third-grade math and reading, roughly half the students tested meet or exceed proficiency standards. That performance softens in the upper elementary grades. Fourth graders show lower proficiency in math, and fifth graders drop further, with math proficiency falling to around a third of students tested. Fifth-grade reading holds steadier, near half. Fifth-grade science is notably weaker, with proficiency at one-fifth of students tested. Across the school, when proficiency is measured at the "meets" level (the middle rung of Texas's achievement scale), the figure is around a third of students overall. The majority of students do reach the "approaches" level, meaning they demonstrate some foundational progress toward grade-level work.

Trend data spans only one year, so longer-term patterns are not visible from the available results. A parent may want to ask the school directly about what specific supports are in place for students in the upper elementary grades, where math results show a decline, and about instructional focus in science at fifth grade.

The school is a regular public school operated by Rosebud-Lott Independent School District. It sits in a rural, highway-oriented setting rather than a walkable downtown; schools are separated from any town commercial center. Housing in the area is modestly valued and relatively affordable compared to state and national benchmarks, and new single-family construction is marketed as rural living for families willing to commute to employment in Temple or Waco.

Within the group of districts in Falls County, Rosebud-Lott Elementary's overall proficiency index sits above the median, a small indication of relative standing. The school's results reflect the challenges common in rural, economically modest communities where educational resource constraints are real. For families in the Lott area, this is their local elementary option, and the school's combination of small size, community rootedness, and emerging areas for support define the educational pathway available.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
