Summary

Parsons Elementary is a public elementary school in Lubbock, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 389 students. The school is part of the Lubbock Independent School District, which is ranked 576 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Parsons Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 17.02% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.75% for the district and 52.02% for the state. Similarly, in 5th-grade STAAR Mathematics, just 12.07% of Parsons students were proficient or better, while the district and state had 46.46% and 46.24%, respectively. The school's performance has been consistently low, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years.

Parsons Elementary spends more per student than the district average, but this has not translated into better academic outcomes. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4, which is lower than the district and state averages. Nearby schools within the Lubbock Independent School District, such as Bayless Elementary, Honey Elementary, and Miller Elementary, have higher STAAR test scores and better overall ratings from SchoolDigger, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support student learning and achievement at Parsons Elementary.
