Summary

Lubbock-Cooper South Elementary is a mid-sized school in Lubbock, TX, serving 708 students in grades PK-5 within the highly-rated Lubbock-Cooper Independent School District (Isd).

While the school has historically been a strong performer, recent data shows a significant decline, dropping from the top 20% of Texas elementary schools to the 58th percentile. This downward trend is most pronounced in mathematics, where proficiency rates—especially in 4th grade (38.85%)—are the lowest among all Lubbock-Cooper elementary schools. In contrast, Lubbock-Cooper West Elementary, just 7 miles away, has risen to the 92nd percentile and outperforms South in nearly every subject. The school also struggles with its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 30th percentile for this group, while nearby schools like Roberts Elementary and Miller Elementary in the Lubbock Independent School District (Isd) serve similar or higher poverty populations yet achieve much higher overall rankings.

Despite these challenges, Lubbock-Cooper South shows remarkable strengths. Its Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 93rd percentile, indicating top-tier advanced academics. Additionally, 5th-grade science scores consistently exceed the state average, suggesting a strong science curriculum. The school also benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.1:1, which supports smaller class sizes. However, the large gap between its performance with high-achieving and at-risk students points to potential issues with resource allocation or instructional support that parents may want to explore further.
