Summary

Lubbock-Cooper Laura Bush Middle in Lubbock, TX, serves 857 students in grades 6-8 and is a high-performing school within the highly-rated Lubbock-Cooper Independent School District (Isd), consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic programs, particularly in math acceleration. Laura Bush Middle achieves near-perfect proficiency rates in Algebra I (100% in 2025-2026), dramatically higher than the district average of 75% and the state average of 54%, indicating a strong STEM pipeline for 8th graders. Reading proficiency is also a major strength, consistently 10-20 percentage points above the state average across all grades. The school is notably effective at supporting all students, with Special Education students ranking in the 90th percentile statewide and English Language Learners in the 91st percentile. Compared to nearby schools, Laura Bush Middle is the highest-ranked middle school in its immediate area, outperforming its district peer Lubbock-Cooper Middle (82nd vs. 72nd percentile) and other high-performing schools like Commander William C McCool Academy (87th percentile) and Heritage Middle (80th percentile).

However, there are areas for attention. A consistent "7th grade math slump" is evident, with only 24.6% of 7th graders proficient in math in 2025-2026, below the state average of 29.4%—a pattern also seen at other nearby schools. Additionally, support for low-income students has declined, dropping from the 57th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 45th percentile in 2024-2025. Interestingly, the school spends significantly less per student ($7,690) than many lower-performing neighbors, such as Slaton Middle ($11,597), suggesting efficient resource use that translates into superior academic outcomes.
