Summary

Landergin Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Amarillo Independent School District (Isd) serving 260 students in a high-poverty area, where over 91% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Despite this challenge, the school has shown a clear upward trajectory in its state ranking over the past decade, moving from the 23rd percentile to the 52nd percentile, thanks to strategic investments like a low student-teacher ratio of 12.4:1 and higher spending per student ($14,026) compared to nearby schools such as Bivins Elementary ($9,994) and South Georgia Elementary ($10,352).

Landergin’s standout strength is its exceptional mathematics performance, with 4th graders scoring 74.29% proficient in 2025-2026—far above the district average of 46.8% and state average of 49.28%—and 5th graders at 61.36% proficient versus the district’s 44.48%. The school also excels in supporting its Special Education students, ranking in the 92nd percentile statewide in 2024-2025. However, reading scores remain a persistent challenge, with 3rd grade reading at just 28.21% compared to the state’s 51.08%, creating a stark contrast between math and literacy outcomes. This suggests that while the school’s math interventions are highly effective, reading instruction may need a similar boost.

An interesting comparison is with nearby Glenwood Elementary, just 1.03 miles away, which serves a similarly high-poverty population but achieves higher overall rankings (76th percentile) and excels in reading (e.g., 85.29% in 5th grade reading). This makes Glenwood a perfect peer for Landergin to learn from in literacy, while Glenwood could benefit from Landergin’s math strategies. Landergin’s overall ranking has improved dramatically from the 23rd percentile in 2017-2018, though some year-to-year volatility remains, likely due to its small size. The school’s White student subgroup has underperformed relative to the school’s overall rank, suggesting that interventions may be more effective for other groups, but the long-term trend is clearly positive.
