Summary

Johnston-McQueen Elementary is a PK-5 school in Longview, TX, serving 464 students within the Longview Independent School District (Isd), a district rated as average overall.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of students who need it most. In the most recent school year, Johnston-McQueen ranked in the 83rd percentile statewide for Special Education students and the 74th percentile for students from low socio-economic backgrounds—far exceeding its overall 56th percentile rank. This means the school is particularly effective at closing achievement gaps for these groups, a strength not seen in nearby schools like Clarence W Bailey Elementary (14th percentile overall) or Bramlette Steam Academy (48th percentile). The school has also shown remarkable improvement, climbing from a 1-star rating to a consistent 3-star performer over the past several years. A key highlight is 3rd-grade reading, where proficiency (50.63%) nearly matches the state average (51.08%)—a significant achievement given that over 76% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

However, a major challenge is a "math cliff" in 5th grade, where only 33.78% of students were proficient in math, a steep drop from 48.89% in 4th grade and well below the district (59.4%) and state (47.38%) averages. While Johnston-McQueen outperforms some district peers, it still trails schools in more affluent neighboring districts like Spring Hill Intermediate (90th percentile) and Birch Elementary (85th percentile). Overall, this is a school on the rise with a clear mission to support its most vulnerable students, but it must address its upper-grade math performance to continue its upward trajectory.
