Summary

Richland Elementary is a public elementary school located in Richardson, Texas, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 609 students. It is part of the Richardson Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 382 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Richland Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with its STAAR test scores consistently lagging behind the Richardson ISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in reading and math were around 10-20 percentage points below the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly weak in 5th grade science, where only 15.63% of students were proficient, compared to 33.35% for the district and 29.57% for the state. Richland Elementary's academic performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1380 out of 4,286 Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 3392 out of 4,651 in 2024-2025.

The nearby Richardson Heights Elementary and Jess Harben Elementary generally outperform Richland Elementary on STAAR tests, with higher proficiency rates in reading, math, and science. However, some schools like Audelia Creek Elementary and Forest Lane Academy, which serve a similar demographic to Richland Elementary, also struggle academically, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics may be at play. Richland Elementary's Gifted and Talented (GT) program appears to be a relative strength, with the school ranking 596 out of 3,184 Texas elementary schools in 2018-2019 for this subgroup.
