Summary

Lubbock-Cooper East Elementary is a mid-sized school in Lubbock, TX, serving 857 students in grades PK-5 within the highly-rated Lubbock-Cooper Independent School District (Isd), though it currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 40th percentile statewide—a significant drop from its 64th percentile ranking just a few years ago.

This school stands out as the lowest-performing elementary in its district, despite the district itself ranking in the top 20% of Texas. For example, nearby Lubbock-Cooper West Elementary and Lubbock-Cooper Central Elementary both rank in the 80th to 92nd percentile. Test scores at East are consistently below both district and state averages, with math being a particular challenge—only about 36% of 3rd and 5th graders were proficient in math, compared to state averages around 44-47%. The school also serves a higher proportion of students from low socio-economic backgrounds (about 41% receive free or reduced lunch) compared to its district peers, which may contribute to its unique challenges. However, it's worth noting that some schools in the nearby Lubbock Independent School District (Isd), like Roberts Elementary and Miller Elementary, achieve top rankings despite similar or higher poverty rates, showing that strong performance is possible.

On a positive note, East has been exceptionally effective with its African American students, who ranked in the 57th percentile in 2025-2026 and as high as the 88th percentile in prior years—a model for success that could be applied to other groups. The school's decline is recent and sharp, dropping from a 3-star rating to 2 stars, and its per-student spending ($8,374) is comparable to higher-performing district schools, suggesting the issue isn't funding but likely relates to instructional quality or school culture. For parents, this school offers a caring environment but faces clear academic hurdles, especially in math, that families should be aware of when considering enrollment.
