Summary

Hodges Elementary is a public charter elementary school serving 267 students in grades PK-5 in Lubbock, Texas, which is part of the Lubbock Independent School District. Despite spending more per student than nearby schools, Hodges Elementary consistently underperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with only 33.33% of 3rd graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading compared to 48.75% for Lubbock ISD and 52.02% for Texas.

The school's statewide ranking has been in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools in recent years, and it performs particularly poorly for male students, ranking in the bottom 20% of the state. Hodges Elementary also has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 91.27% to 98.04%, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools in the Lubbock ISD. Despite the additional resources, the school's academic struggles suggest that more than just funding may be needed to address the challenges faced by the student population.

Interestingly, Hodges Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.3 compared to the nearby schools, which range from 11.9 to 19.4 students per teacher. However, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and staffing decisions. Overall, Hodges Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, socioeconomic status of its student population, and the efficient use of its resources.
