Summary

Betty M Condra School For Education Innovation is a small K-5 elementary school in Lubbock, TX, serving 187 students as its own single-school district, where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Despite spending significantly more per student ($16,543) than nearby schools and maintaining a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.5:1, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 2% of Texas elementary schools, with test scores often 30 to 40 percentage points below state averages. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, only 5.88% of 4th graders were proficient in Math, compared to 75.95% at Wilson Elementary and 71.43% at Ramirez Elementary, both part of the Lubbock Independent School District (Isd).

This extreme academic underperformance is a systemic issue, not a one-year anomaly, with proficiency rates in single digits across multiple years and subjects. The school's "innovation" model, which includes high spending and small classes, has not translated into success, raising questions about its curriculum and leadership. In contrast, nearby schools like Wilson Elementary (91st percentile) and Ramirez Elementary (89th percentile) achieve proficiency rates of 70-80% in Reading and Math, despite serving different socioeconomic populations. The school's unique administrative structure as a single-school district means it lacks the resources and support of a larger district like Lubbock ISD, which may contribute to its struggles.

One potential bright spot is the school's performance with Special Education students, who ranked in the 48th percentile in 2025-2026, up from the 14th percentile two years prior. This suggests a specific program or strategy may be working for this group, offering a foundation to build upon. However, the overall picture remains concerning: the school is failing to provide a basic education to most of its students, despite high investment. A fundamental reassessment of its academic approach is urgently needed to address this crisis and improve outcomes for all students.
