Summary
Cavazos Middle is a public magnet middle school located in Lubbock, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 398 students. It is part of the Lubbock Independent School District (LISD), which is ranked 576 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Cavazos Middle has consistently underperformed compared to the LISD and Texas state averages on STAAR tests across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades was 37.5%, 38.79%, and 50.38%, respectively, compared to LISD scores of 52.17%, 47.67%, and 51.2%, and Texas state scores of 54.21%, 51.69%, and 56.39%. The school's performance on STAAR tests also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school struggling with White, Hispanic, and Special Education student populations. Additionally, Cavazos Middle has experienced higher dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 1.2% to 3.3%, compared to the LISD and Texas state averages.
When comparing Cavazos Middle to other nearby middle schools within the LISD district, such as Evans Middle and Hutchinson Middle, both of which are also public magnet schools, Cavazos Middle consistently underperforms on STAAR tests and has lower overall rankings from SchoolDigger. This raises questions about the effectiveness of Cavazos Middle's magnet program and its ability to attract and retain high-performing students, despite its additional funding and resources.
