Summary

Longbranch Elementary in Midlothian, TX, is a high-performing PK-5 school serving 686 students within the Midlothian Independent School District (Isd), a top-tier district ranking in the 85th percentile statewide. The school consistently ranks in the top 20% of all Texas elementary schools, with a current rank of 664 out of 4,627 (86th percentile), and has historically reached the 95th percentile. It significantly outperforms both district and state averages in Reading and Math across all grade levels, and maintains a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 15.9:1.

Longbranch is part of a cluster of high-performing elementary schools within the district, including Jean Coleman Elementary (92nd percentile) and Larue Miller Elementary (90th percentile), indicating a strong district-wide culture of academic excellence. However, the contrast with J A Vitovsky Elementary (55th percentile) and T E Baxter Elementary (69th percentile) within the same district is stark, highlighting how socioeconomic factors can impact school performance even in a top-rated district. Notably, Longbranch achieves these results with below-average per-student spending ($9,668), suggesting high efficiency through effective teaching and strong community support.

While Longbranch excels overall, there are areas of concern. Its 5th-grade Science scores are alarmingly low, with only 22.55% of students proficient in 2024-2025, significantly below the district average of 38.45% and even the state average of 29.57%. Additionally, the Gifted and Talented program has seen a sharp decline from the 92nd percentile in 2022-2023 to the 70th percentile, warranting investigation into potential changes in curriculum or identification processes. The school also shows inconsistent performance with its Low SES students, rebounding from a 22nd percentile in 2024-2025 to the 61st percentile in 2025-2026, suggesting the approach may not be as reliably effective as for other groups.

Their motto of Lead, Love, Learn does NOT apply to all students. PUNISHMENT, DISCIPLINE, COMPLIANCE is a more accurate motto for how this school is run or TEARS, FEARS, LIES. That best describes the torment my child was put through at Longbranch Elementary in Misd. Close Quote
