Summary

Rj Richey Elementary in Burnet, TX, serves 510 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of the Burnet Consolidated Independent School District, a district ranked in the bottom 12% of Texas.

This school has experienced a significant decline in state rankings over the past five years, dropping from a high point in the 74th percentile to the 25th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. A key concern is that math proficiency rates hover around 34% across all grades, which is roughly 10-15 percentage points behind state averages. While reading scores are also below average, math stands out as a critical weakness. Interestingly, the school shows a stark contrast in performance: its Gifted and Talented students rank in the 76th percentile, while other student groups rank much lower. This suggests resources may be concentrated on top-tier students, leaving many others without adequate support.

For context, nearby Colt Elementary in the Marble Falls Independent School District serves a similar student body but achieves dramatically better results, ranking in the 57th percentile. In 5th-grade math, Colt achieved 56% proficiency compared to Rj Richey's 34%, and in 5th-grade reading, Colt achieved 68% proficiency versus 48%. This comparison shows that a school with a similar economic profile can achieve higher outcomes, indicating that Rj Richey's challenges are not solely due to student demographics but also relate to instructional effectiveness. The school must urgently analyze practices at higher-performing peer schools to better support all students, especially in mathematics.
