Summary

Clarence W Bailey Elementary is a 1st-5th grade campus in the Longview Independent School District (Isd) serving 283 students, with over 92% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools over the past decade.

Bailey Elementary faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the 14th percentile statewide in 2025-2026, which is dramatically lower than nearby in-district schools like Ware Elementary (49th percentile) and Bramlette Steam Academy (48th percentile). The most striking comparison is with Hudson Elementary, located just 1.27 miles away, which ranks in the 100th percentile statewide with over 90% of students proficient in all subjects. While Hudson has a lower poverty rate, the massive performance gap suggests factors beyond socioeconomic status are at play. Bailey spends over $16,800 per student—significantly more than any nearby school—yet achieves the lowest academic outcomes, raising questions about resource allocation. A critical area of concern is 4th Grade Reading, where only 22.92% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, less than half the district average of 56.76%.

Despite these challenges, the school shows a notable strength in serving Special Education Students, who ranked in the 53rd percentile statewide in 2025-2026—the only subgroup to achieve a middle-of-the-pack ranking. However, performance for other groups is highly volatile; for example, Hispanic students dropped from the 72nd percentile in 2022-2023 to the 28th percentile in 2025-2026, suggesting the school lacks a stable instructional framework. Science scores are also alarmingly low, with only 13.33% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025. The school's overall rank has been on a downward trend since a relative peak in 2022-2023 (39th percentile), indicating that recent interventions have not reversed long-standing performance issues. The stark contrast with Hudson Elementary presents a powerful case study for the district to investigate what instructional strategies or school culture elements could be replicated at Bailey.
