Summary

Westwind Elementary is a mid-sized PK-5 school in Lubbock, TX, serving 613 students within the Frenship Independent School District (Isd). While the school has a solid foundation, its most defining characteristic is a significant and persistent gap between its Reading and Mathematics performance, with Math being a clear area of concern. In the most recent testing year, Westwind's math proficiency rates were well below the district average in every grade level, and its 5th-grade Science scores were exceptionally low at just 16.48% proficient. This places Westwind in a challenging middle ground: it is a lower-performing school within a higher-performing district, but it outperforms nearby Lubbock Independent School District (Isd) schools like Stewart Elementary and Hardwick Elementary.

One of the most interesting findings is the school's demographic shift: the percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch has dropped dramatically from 71% to 54% over the past two years. Typically, such a change would correlate with improved test scores, but Westwind's overall state ranking has not kept pace, suggesting its instructional strategies may not be adapting quickly enough. The school also shows inconsistent performance with specific student groups, with some subgroups ranking in the 84th percentile one year and the 22nd the next, pointing to a lack of stable, targeted support programs.

For parents, the most valuable comparison is Crestview Elementary, a 5-star Frenship school just 2.4 miles away that posted math scores nearly double Westwind's. Even more striking is Wester Elementary, a Lubbock ISD school with a 90% free/reduced lunch rate that achieved nearly double Westwind's math proficiency. These nearby examples show that better outcomes are possible and offer clear models for improvement. Westwind's most urgent priorities should be a complete overhaul of its Math and Science curricula, along with more consistent support for all student groups.
