Summary

H F McNeill Elementary in Richmond, TX, is a large, high-performing PK-5 school in the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District that serves 926 students and has consistently ranked among the top 15% of Texas elementary schools for nearly a decade.

What truly sets McNeill apart is its remarkable ability to achieve top-tier academic results with a student body where about 38% qualify for free or reduced lunch. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked in the 98th percentile statewide for its effectiveness with low socio-economic status students. This is a stark contrast to nearby high-performing schools like Roosevelt Alexander Elementary in Katy Independent School District (Isd), which serves a more affluent population. McNeill achieves near-identical results in key areas—for example, 5th-grade reading proficiency at 80.81% compared to Roosevelt Alexander's 88.08%—while doing so with greater economic diversity. The school also dominates in 5th-grade science, with 56.14% of students proficient, nearly double the state average and significantly higher than its district peer Judge James C Adolphus Elementary (43.37%).

McNeill is also remarkably efficient, spending $9,174 per student—far less than Katy ISD neighbors like Joella Exley Elementary ($11,012) and James E Williams Elementary ($11,087)—while maintaining a slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 17.1. For families in the Richmond 77407 area, McNeill is a clear academic beacon compared to struggling nearby Fort Bend Independent School District (Isd) schools like Barbara Jordan Elementary and Juan Seguin Elementary, which rank in the 45th-65th percentile. One area for growth: the school's performance with Gifted and Talented students is surprisingly average (49th percentile), suggesting that while it excels at bringing all students to high standards, it may not provide the same level of accelerated enrichment for its highest achievers.
