Summary

Lubbock-Cooper Middle serves 901 students in grades 6-8 within the highly-rated Lubbock-Cooper Independent School District (Isd), a district that ranks in the 81st percentile statewide. The school stands out for its exceptional Algebra I acceleration program, with an incredible 98.65% of students proficient on the End-of-Course exam—far exceeding the state average of 54% and every nearby school. However, this strength creates a stark contrast with 7th-grade math, where only 27.32% of students are proficient, below the state average. The school also shows a consistent gender gap, ranking in the 76th percentile for male students but only the 66th percentile for female students over the past three years.

Compared to its district peer, Lubbock-Cooper Laura Bush Middle, this school is the lower-performing middle school within the district, with Laura Bush Middle consistently outperforming it in overall rank (82nd vs. 72nd percentile) and in most subjects. Yet when compared to nearby schools in the Lubbock Independent School District (Isd)—such as Dunbar College Preparatory Academy, Atkins Middle, and Slaton Middle, which rank in the bottom 10% of the state—Lubbock-Cooper Middle is a beacon of high achievement. The school also shows a notable positive trend in serving low-socioeconomic status students, jumping from the 35th percentile to the 61st percentile in just two years.

A consistent weakness across the district is 8th-grade Social Studies, where only 29.43% of students are proficient, below the state average. The school also shows volatile patterns for vulnerable populations: Special Education students dropped from the 81st to the 57th percentile, while English Language Learners improved from the 12th to the 50th percentile. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.3:1 and only 31.3% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school has strong foundational resources. Parents should note that while the school excels in advanced math acceleration, it may need to focus more on supporting students in standard math pathways and addressing the gender performance gap.
