Long Elementary

Summary:

Long Elementary is a public elementary school in Midland, Texas, serving 667 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Midland Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 556 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Long Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with lower proficiency rates on STAAR tests compared to the Midland ISD and Texas state averages, particularly for Hispanic, English Language Learner (ELL), and Special Education students. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (around 72-80%) may contribute to these challenges. In contrast, the school's White and female student subgroups perform relatively better, ranking in the middle or upper-middle range of Texas elementary schools.

Nearby schools, such as Rusk Elementary, Sam Houston Collegiate Preparatory Elementary, and Barbara Yarbrough Elementary, generally perform better than Long Elementary on STAAR tests and have higher rankings within the state. These schools have a more diverse student population and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. Addressing the achievement gaps at Long Elementary through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with higher-performing nearby schools could be key to improving the academic outcomes for its predominantly economically disadvantaged and minority student population.

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.
