Summary

Irma Dru Hutchison Elementary in Richmond, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 543 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, known for its consistent, above-average performance and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for six of the last seven years.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of specific student groups. It ranks in the 77th percentile for African American students, far outperforming nearby schools like Manford Williams Elementary (33rd percentile) and Susanna Dickinson Elementary (42nd percentile). Similarly, Hutchison excels with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the 77th percentile, compared to Phelan Elementary (53rd percentile) and Manford Williams Elementary (60th percentile), despite having a moderate free/reduced lunch rate of 48%. The school also achieves strong test scores across all grade levels in Reading and Math, a consistency not seen at Smith Elementary or T L Pink Elementary, where some grades fall below state averages.

Hutchison is also highly efficient, spending about $9,210 per student—the lowest among nearby schools—yet outperforming higher-spending peers like Smith Elementary ($14,401) and Jane Long Elementary ($12,625). While 5th-grade Science scores are a district-wide weakness, with all nearby schools below the state average, Hutchison remains a stable, reliable choice in a neighborhood where other schools, like T L Pink Elementary and Jane Long Elementary, show volatile performance trends. This makes Hutchison a strong option for families seeking consistent quality.
