Elementary Schools in Lubbock Independent School District (Isd)


Summary:

The Lubbock Independent School District (Isd) oversees 29 elementary schools serving grades PK-5 across a diverse urban area in Texas, where school performance varies dramatically from top-tier institutions to those facing significant challenges.

For parents seeking high achievement, Miller Elementary stands out as the district's top performer, earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 94th percentile statewide, with exceptional 5th-grade reading scores at 86.92% proficient. Other strong choices include Wilson Elementary, Smith Elementary, and Roberts Elementary, all consistently earning 4-5 stars and ranking in the top 15% of Texas schools. Wester Elementary shows impressive upward momentum, jumping from a 56th percentile ranking to the 81st percentile over three years. On the other end, Alderson Elementary faces the steepest challenges, ranking in the 8th percentile with critically low test scores, while Carmona-Harrison Elementary and Bean Elementary (grades 3-5) also struggle in the bottom 10% of schools statewide.

A key takeaway is that higher per-student spending does not guarantee better results—Ervin Elementary spends $13,632 per student yet performs poorly, while Miller Elementary spends just $9,184 and excels. Science is a district-wide weakness, with even top schools like Wilson Elementary scoring below 55% proficient in 5th-grade science, and struggling schools like Wolffarth Elementary scoring in the single digits. Schools like Honey Elementary and Whiteside Elementary offer solid middle-ground options with consistent 4-star ratings and strong math performance.
