Summary

Dr Thomas E Randle High School in Richmond, TX, is a large public high school serving 1,966 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, a district ranking in the top 21% of Texas school districts. The school has a consistent, yet modest, state ranking around the 55th to 60th percentile, earning it a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, which places it as a solidly average school within the state. However, it operates in a highly competitive local environment where several nearby schools, such as Foster High School (85th percentile) and George Ranch High School (87th percentile), consistently achieve top-tier rankings, making Randle the lowest-ranked among major comprehensive high schools in its immediate vicinity.

The most significant challenge for Randle is its performance in Algebra I, where proficiency rates have been consistently and significantly below both district and state averages over the last four years. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, only 39.27% of Randle students were proficient in Algebra I, compared to the district average of 58.33% and the state average of 54.03%. This "Algebra I gap" is a stark contrast to high-performing peers like Stephen F. Austin High School (63.54% proficiency). On a positive note, Randle demonstrates a notable strength in supporting its English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the 75th percentile statewide for this subgroup and earning a 4-star rating, a strength not shared by all its peers. Additionally, Biology is a consistent bright spot, with 72.26% of students proficient in the 2025-2026 school year, meeting the state average.

Other areas of concern include a growing dropout rate, which has increased from 0.2% in 2021-2022 to 1.7% in 2023-2024, nearly double the district average and the highest among major comprehensive high schools in the district. The school also has a high student-teacher ratio of 20.7:1, and while spending data for Randle is not provided, nearby schools with similar or lower poverty levels have lower ratios, suggesting Randle may operate with fewer resources per student. Overall, Randle is a school that excels in supporting ELL students and performs well in Biology, but it faces persistent challenges in Algebra I and a rising dropout rate, all while being an average school in a neighborhood of high-achieving ones.

Open Quote If i could rate it -0, I would! The lack of concern, accountability and responsibility regarding the extreme mishandling of my Grandson's schedule, placement, transcript is so ridiculous, contradictory and utterly irresponsible is completely unacceptable! These reachers- because they're only interested in reaching monetary goals- will slip an educational mickey on your child and present the student impracticable and incapable just to increase their numbers. On top of a disparaging image forced on this student in particular, they apparently believe it's okay to take advantage of students 'on the spectrum' as they say! It's seems this school has redefined spectrum' to justify their adverse words, actions, lack of proper reporting and poor communication with Parents! By the way, NO spectrum or so called learning disability justifies abuse ! yes ABUSE, equal to maltreatment. I REFUSE to allow further my Grandson to experience additional discouragement and encroachment to by ANY educator, district, principals and superintendents included! And, FYI, All levels including state have been notified of these adverse actions imposed on students, especially those whose parents are unaware of what SPED really is about! At the time of this comment/review, I'm considering legal actions by 99. Close Quote
