Summary

J L Everhart Magnet Elementary in Longview, TX, is a PK-5 magnet school in the Longview Independent School District (Isd) serving 424 students in a community with high economic need, where about 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

What truly sets Everhart apart is its exceptional success with students who often face the biggest challenges. The school ranks in the 83rd percentile statewide for low-income students and the 80th percentile for special education students—top-tier results that far exceed nearby schools with similar demographics. For example, Clarence W Bailey Elementary and Ware Elementary also serve high-poverty populations but don't match Everhart's outcomes. The school's bilingual program is particularly effective: 5th-grade Spanish Reading proficiency reached 83.33% in 2025-2026, dramatically higher than the district's 40% and state's 34.82%. While Hudson Elementary in the same district ranks in the 100th percentile, it serves a much less economically challenged population (52.65% low-income), making Everhart's achievements arguably more impressive given its context.

Everhart's math program tells a compelling story of growth. While 3rd-grade math proficiency was just 37.5% in 2025-2026, by 5th grade it jumped to 65.69%—well above district and state averages. This consistent pattern shows the school excels at accelerating learning for students who start behind. The school has also undergone a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the 20th percentile statewide in 2016 to the 65th percentile in 2026, earning a steady 3-star rating. With per-student spending of $11,375—less than Clarence W Bailey Elementary's $16,871—Everhart proves that effective resource use, not just funding, drives student success.
