Summary:
The Levelland Independent School District (Isd) is home to one high school, Levelland High School, which serves 798 students in grades 9 through 12 in a community where nearly 64% of students come from low-income households.
Levelland High School shows a mixed academic profile. The school's strongest subject is Biology, where 76.73% of students are proficient, outperforming the state average by over six percentage points. Algebra I also exceeds the state average, with 57.05% proficiency compared to 54.03% statewide. However, the school struggles significantly in U.S. History, where only 39.89% of students are proficient—a staggering 30 percentage points below the state average. English I and English II Reading also lag behind state averages, with proficiency rates around 51%. Despite these academic challenges, the school boasts a high graduation rate of 95.2% and a very low dropout rate of 0.4%. The student-teacher ratio is a favorable 13.2:1, and per-student spending is $12,016.
One notable trend is that while the school's state ranking has improved from the 39th percentile to the 48th percentile over three years, this improvement may be due to other schools declining faster rather than broad-based gains at Levelland High School. The stark contrast between high graduation rates and low proficiency in core subjects like English and U.S. History suggests that students may be advancing to graduation without fully mastering state academic standards. The school's success in Biology and Algebra I, despite serving a predominantly low-income community, shows that academic achievement is possible, but targeted interventions are clearly needed in English and U.S. History to close the significant gaps with state averages.
