Summary

Lubbock High School is a large, comprehensive public high school in the Lubbock Independent School District (Isd), serving nearly 2,000 students in grades 9-12 in Lubbock, TX.

This school stands out as a strong "middle performer" in a district with a wide range of outcomes. It is the highest-ranked traditional high school, significantly outperforming nearby Estacado High School and Coronado High School, though it trails the elite magnet school Talkington School For Young Women Leaders. Lubbock High’s greatest strength is its exceptional performance in humanities subjects like English and U.S. History, where it consistently beats both district and state averages. However, Algebra I is a notable weakness, with proficiency rates that often fall below the state average. The school also shows a positive trend of improvement, with its overall rank climbing from the 45th percentile to the 65th percentile over the past several years, and its Special Education program has seen dramatic gains. A key takeaway is that the school achieves strong results with a relatively modest per-student spending of $9,567, especially when compared to Dupre Academy High School, which spends over $45,000 per student but has the lowest performance in the area.

For parents, Lubbock High offers a stable and improving environment with a strong graduation rate consistently above 91% and a low dropout rate. The school is a solid choice for students who excel in reading, writing, and history, but families should be aware of the ongoing challenge in math. The presence of Talkington School nearby likely draws some of the district's highest-achieving students, which helps explain why Lubbock High’s overall rank is not higher despite its strong performance in several key areas. Overall, Lubbock High is a school that is efficiently using its resources to provide a quality education and is on an upward trajectory.
