Summary

Lubbock-Cooper Central Elementary is a high-performing PK-5 school in Lubbock, TX, serving 763 students as part of the highly-rated Lubbock-Cooper Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its exceptional academic strengths, particularly in science and math. In 2024-2025, 60% of 5th graders were proficient in science—more than double the state average—and 75% were proficient in math, far exceeding district and state benchmarks. The school also boasts a low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.7:1, which supports individualized attention. However, its overall state ranking has recently dipped from the 91st to the 82nd percentile, with notable declines in performance for Gifted and Talented and Special Education students. Despite this, it remains a top choice within its district, outperforming nearby schools like Lubbock-Cooper South Elementary and Lubbock-Cooper East Elementary by a wide margin.

Compared to neighboring districts, Central Elementary faces strong competition from schools like Miller Elementary in Lubbock Independent School District (Isd) and Crestview Elementary in Frenship Independent School District (Isd), both of which rank in the 93rd-94th percentile. While Central’s recent decline has allowed some competitors to pull ahead, its consistent math and science excellence, along with a low rate of economic disadvantage (17% of students on free/reduced lunch), make it a strong option for families seeking a well-rounded elementary education in the Lubbock area.
