Summary

Jane Long Elementary is a K-5 public school in Richmond, TX, serving 443 students within the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District. Once a top-performing school ranking in the 79th percentile statewide in 2016, Jane Long has experienced a steep and sustained decline, dropping to the 15th percentile (1 star) by the 2025-2026 school year. This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Stephen F. Austin Elementary (83rd percentile) and John Arredondo Elementary (75th percentile), which have maintained high performance within the same district.

The school’s STAAR test scores are consistently below both district and state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 3rd Grade Mathematics, only 18% of Jane Long students were proficient, compared to 55% in the district and 44% statewide. Nearby Jackson Elementary, just 2.67 miles away, achieved a 78% proficiency rate in the same subject. The school is also struggling to serve its most vulnerable students, with performance for low socio-economic status students dropping from the 59th percentile in 2023 to the 16th percentile in 2026. Notably, the school’s per-student spending ($12,625) is higher than several higher-performing peers, and its student-to-teacher ratio (12.7) is among the best in the area, suggesting the challenges are not due to a lack of resources.

Despite these difficulties, there is a bright spot: Jane Long’s Spanish-language STAAR program shows strong results. In 2024-2025, 50% of 3rd graders taking the Spanish Reading test were proficient, significantly outperforming the district (31%) and state (22%). This suggests the school may have an effective bilingual program supporting its English Language Learners. The school’s history of past success—it was once in the top 21% of Texas elementary schools—indicates that with targeted intervention, improvement is possible. For parents considering this school, it’s important to weigh the current academic challenges against the potential for turnaround and the unique strengths in bilingual instruction.
