Summary

Long Elementary is a PK-6 public school in the Midland Independent School District (Isd), serving 575 students in the central-western part of Midland, TX, and has experienced a sharp, multi-year decline in academic performance, now ranking in the bottom 8th percentile statewide with a 0-star rating.

Long Elementary faces significant challenges, with 89.2% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, placing it among the highest-poverty schools in its area. Its academic proficiency on STAAR exams is drastically below district and state averages, particularly in Mathematics—only 20% of 5th graders and 25% of 6th graders were proficient, compared to state averages of 47.4% and 38.6%. Reading scores are also low, with just 22.2% of 3rd graders proficient versus the state average of 51.1%. In contrast, nearby schools like Bush Elementary (61st percentile) and Sam Houston Collegiate Preparatory Elementary (63rd percentile) consistently meet or exceed state averages. Even Burnet Elementary, just 0.45 miles away with an even higher poverty rate (92%), ranks higher at the 15th percentile, suggesting Long is struggling more than its most demographically similar neighbor.

One bright spot is Long’s Spanish-language STAAR program, where 44.4% of 3rd graders taking the Spanish Reading STAAR were proficient, significantly outperforming the district (27.7%) and state (28.3%) averages. This indicates the bilingual or dual-language program may be a relative strength. However, the school’s overall trajectory is concerning, with a steep decline from a recent peak of the 41st percentile in 2020-2021 to its current low. Per-student spending ($9,952) is mid-range compared to nearby schools, highlighting that the challenge is not simply funding but likely a combination of high student needs and instructional effectiveness. Long Elementary requires urgent, targeted intervention to reverse its downward trend.
