National city placement

Large system with a dominant campus

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Roscoe has more public-school enrollment than 85% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Roscoe sits near the top of the national city distribution by public-school enrollment, while Lone Star Online Academy alone enrolls 93.8% of local students. The city total therefore does not describe a uniform market: one large campus materially shapes the aggregate, and the remaining schools operate at a different scale. Read the ranked table alongside each campus profile rather than treating the city mean as a typical school.

Combined-grade campuses shape the local portfolio

3 of Roscoe's 5 listed schools use NCES's combined or “other” grade-level classification. Citywide averages therefore blend campuses serving unusually broad or nonstandard grade spans with conventional elementary, middle, and high schools. Grade configuration is a first-order comparison here, not a minor label.

A small portfolio contains radically different campus scales

Roscoe lists only 5 schools, yet reported enrollment runs from 84 to 11,686 students, a 139-fold range. In a portfolio this compact, the smallest record may be a specialized or nonstandard setting rather than a miniature version of the largest campus. That distinction affects how ratios and program fields should be read. Compare similarly configured grade levels first; combining the extremes into one city average conceals more than it explains.

Lone Star Online Academy accounts for 93.8% of all Roscoe public-school enrollment

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Roscoe a distant remainder — means Roscoe-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: Elementary. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.

Roscoe school enrollment varies 139× across entities

Roscoe school enrollment ranges from 84 students (lowest) to 11,686 students (highest), a spread of 11,602 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.

Roscoe student-teacher ratio is 13.1:1 — low (typically associated with smaller schools or per-school staffing investment that often correlates with stronger per-student supports)

student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.

3 of Roscoe's 5 listed schools are charters

60% of the city's listed public-school campuses are reported as charter schools in NCES CCD. Charter status identifies a different governance arrangement; it does not establish admissions availability, academic quality, or the share of city students enrolled in those campuses.
