The Lubbock-Cooper Independent School District (Isd) serves 10 schools in Texas, including five elementary schools, two middle schools, two high schools, and one alternative school, and is ranked in the 81st percentile statewide with a 4-star rating.

For academic excellence, Lubbock-Cooper West Elementary stands out with a 5-star rating for three consecutive years and test scores well above district and state averages, such as 82.65% of 5th graders proficient in Reading versus 65.57% for the district.

Lubbock-Cooper Laura Bush Middle is a consistent high performer, maintaining a 4-star rating and achieving 100% proficiency in Algebra I EOC exams. Notably, Lubbock-Cooper Liberty High School, an alternative school, outperforms the main high school on key exams, with 92.97% proficiency in Biology versus 75.98% at Lubbock-Cooper High School, likely due to smaller class sizes and targeted instruction.

Key metrics show the district has a high graduation rate of 98.9% at Lubbock-Cooper High School and very low dropout rates, often 0.0%. However, middle school math is a district-wide challenge, with both middle schools scoring below the state average in 7th-grade Mathematics. Spending per student varies, with Lubbock-Cooper High School spending the most at $10,058, but this does not directly correlate with performance, as East Elementary spends $8,374 yet struggles academically. Overall, the district offers strong options for families, with standout schools like West Elementary and Liberty High School, but parents should note the variability in performance across schools, particularly at East Elementary and in middle school math.
