Summary
Littlefield High School in Littlefield, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 382 students in grades 9-12, and it is part of the Littlefield Independent School District (Isd). The school has shown a strong upward trend, moving from a 1-star rating to a consistent 2-star and achieving a 3-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, which reflects a 33-percentile-point gain over the last decade. With a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.4:1, the school offers personalized instruction, and it boasts an excellent graduation rate of 96.6% and a near-zero dropout rate, demonstrating a strong commitment to keeping students on track.
Compared to nearby Sudan High School, which ranks in the 80th percentile, Littlefield trails in overall performance, ranking in the 52nd percentile for 2025-2026. The most significant academic gaps are in Algebra I (58.54% vs. 78.95%) and English I Reading (46.43% vs. 68.42%). However, Littlefield serves a more economically diverse student body, with 68% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, compared to 37% at Sudan. Despite this, Littlefield spends less per student ($12,980) than Sudan ($18,795) and has a higher student-to-teacher ratio, suggesting that resource allocation may be a factor in the performance differences.
Littlefield excels in serving specific student groups, ranking in the 87th percentile for migrant students and achieving a 3-star rating for Hispanic students in recent years. The school also performs above the state average for low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the 60th percentile in 2025-2026. However, there are areas of concern, including volatile performance for special education students, which dropped from a 3-star to a 0-star rating, and for gifted and talented students, which swung from a 5-star to a 1-star rating. Additionally, the school's Algebra I performance has been inconsistent, with a dramatic rebound from 25.86% to 58.54% in recent years, indicating a need for a more stable math curriculum.
