Summary

Bentley Elementary in Richmond, TX, is a high-performing public school serving 823 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, and it has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for four of the last five years.

What truly sets Bentley apart is its exceptional ability to drive outstanding outcomes for all students, especially those from low socio-economic backgrounds. The school ranks in the 97th percentile statewide for serving low socio-economic status (SES) students, a remarkable achievement that surpasses many nearby schools with lower economic need. For example, while Stanley C Stanley Elementary in Katy Independent School District (Isd) ranks in the 99th percentile overall, it serves only 12% low SES students, whereas Bentley achieves top-tier results with a higher level of economic need. Additionally, Bentley ranks in the 97th percentile for African American students, a ranking dramatically higher than any other nearby school, and has shown a remarkable turnaround for Special Education students, jumping from the 78th to the 95th percentile in just a few years. This consistent, high-quality instruction is evident across all grade levels, with reading proficiency rates tightly clustered between 75% and 83% and math proficiency between 63% and 73%.

Bentley also competes directly with highly-regarded Katy ISD schools on academic outcomes, despite serving a student body with higher economic need. In 5th-grade reading, Bentley’s score of 82.88% is comparable to Tom Wilson Elementary (83.06%) and James E Randolph Elementary (83.33%). Furthermore, Bentley’s 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 55.12% significantly outpaces other LCISD schools like Huggins Elementary (38.89%) and Terrell Elementary (39.08%), pointing to a strong STEM foundation. With a student-teacher ratio of 17.3, Bentley operates with larger class sizes than many Katy ISD peers (e.g., Wilson at 13.0), yet still achieves comparable or better results, demonstrating a highly efficient use of resources and a strong, effective teaching staff.
