Jane Long Elementary

Summary:

Jane Long Elementary is a public elementary school in Richmond, Texas, serving 579 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 213 out of 968 districts in Texas.

While Jane Long Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1, the school's academic performance is a concern. Its STAAR test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency was 39.29%, compared to the district's 63.6% and the state's 48.85%. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1,132 out of 4,359 Texas elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 2,880 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American and English Language Learner students, is relatively stronger compared to the state average.

Compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, such as Irma Dru Hutchison Elementary and Stephen F. Austin Elementary, Jane Long Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 83.25% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This is in contrast to the nearby schools, which have 51.81% and 44.48% of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, respectively.

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.
