The school has received a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating below-average performance compared to other Texas elementary schools. Harwell significantly underperforms the Lubbock ISD and Texas state averages in STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in mathematics, where 3rd and 4th grade proficiency rates are below 10%.
