Iltexas Richmond Elementary

Iltexas Richmond Elementary is a K-5 charter school in Richmond, TX, serving 704 students as part of the International Leadership Of Texas (Iltexas) district, and has shown impressive recent growth, jumping to a 4-star rating (78th percentile) in the 2025-2026 school year.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance with specific student groups. It ranks in the 96th percentile statewide for serving African American students and the 87th percentile for students from low-income backgrounds, both significant improvements from the prior year. Across nearly every grade and subject, Iltexas Richmond Elementary outperforms its own district’s average—for example, in 5th Grade Reading, 68.42% of students were proficient compared to the district’s 50.46%. However, a notable weakness is 5th Grade Science, where only 11.84% of students were proficient, far below the state average of 29.57% and the lowest among nearby schools like Frost Elementary (45.51%) and Malala Yousafzai (52.69%).

Compared to nearby traditional public schools, Iltexas Richmond Elementary is a solid mid-to-upper-tier option. It outperforms lower-ranked schools like T L Pink Elementary and Jane Long Elementary by a wide margin, but is outpaced by top performers like Frost Elementary (5 stars, 91st percentile) and Malala Yousafzai (5 stars, 96th percentile). The school serves a more economically diverse student body than these high-performing neighbors, with 56.96% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, making its strong results with low-income students particularly noteworthy. While the school excels with many groups, its performance with White students is a relative weakness, ranking in the 47th percentile, though this is a major improvement from the 15th percentile the year prior.
