Summary

Stephen F Austin Elementary in Richmond, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 468 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, and it stands out for its consistent academic performance, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past five years and ranking in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools.

What truly sets Stephen F Austin apart is its remarkable ability to help all students succeed, regardless of their background. The school excels with students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide for this group—far above its overall 83rd percentile rank. This makes it an "equity champion" compared to nearby schools like Frost Elementary, which has a higher overall rank but serves a more affluent population. Additionally, Stephen F Austin boasts an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.9:1, the lowest among comparable schools like Judge James C Adolphus Elementary (17.6:1) and Frost Elementary (17.3:1), allowing for more personalized attention. However, the school has a notable weakness in 5th-grade science, with only 27% of students proficient in 2024-2025, below the district and state averages, suggesting a need for curriculum improvement in this area.

While Stephen F Austin shows strong overall stability, its performance with specific student groups has been dynamic. For instance, Hispanic students have seen a dramatic improvement, jumping from the 79th percentile to the 97th percentile in recent years. In contrast, the school's Gifted and Talented program has been inconsistent, dropping from the 90th percentile to the 62nd percentile, indicating a potential area for review. When compared to T L Pink Elementary, another LCISD school just 3.2 miles away with a much higher rate of students from low-income families, Stephen F Austin's performance is significantly stronger, highlighting the impact of effective school leadership and instructional quality in achieving high outcomes for all students.
