Summary

John Arredondo Elementary in Richmond, TX, is a mid-sized 4-star school serving 678 students in the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, a high-performing district ranking in the 79th percentile statewide, and it has shown a powerful upward trajectory from the 52nd percentile in 2018 to a peak of the 84th percentile in 2024, though it recently dipped to the 75th percentile in the latest data.

This school truly stands out for its exceptional effectiveness with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the top 10% of all Texas schools for this group in 2023-2024. It also achieves remarkable results in 5th Grade Science, with a 50.45% proficiency rate that far exceeded both the state and district averages, and it has shown strong improvement in mathematics, with recent 4th and 5th grade math scores significantly above state averages. Notably, John Arredondo achieves these top-quartile results with below-average spending per student ($9,695), indicating efficient resource management. While its overall rank saw a slight dip, this appears driven by changes in specific subgroups rather than a school-wide decline, as performance for African American students remains stellar, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide.

In the local school landscape, John Arredondo sits in a fascinating middle-to-upper tier. It is geographically close to Don Carter Elementary, a top-tier 5-star school, and also near Travis Elementary, a 1-star school, highlighting the micro-segmentation of school performance within the same district. Its closest high-performing peer is Manford Williams Elementary, but John Arredondo outperforms it in several key math areas, making it a direct and effective competitor. For parents, this school represents a "rising star" with a proven track record of lifting student outcomes, especially in science and math, and it offers a strong, efficient education that punches above its weight in the community.
