Summary

Honey Elementary in Lubbock, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 442 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade, and it stands out as a top performer within the Lubbock Independent School District (Isd). With a consistent 4-star rating and a state ranking in the 88th percentile, Honey Elementary delivers academic results that far exceed the district average, which sits in the 41st percentile. This performance is especially impressive when compared to nearby schools like Bayless Elementary, Parsons Elementary, and Waters Elementary, which rank in the bottom half of the state. Honey is part of a cluster of high-achieving schools in south Lubbock, including Smith Elementary and Miller Elementary, creating a competitive and supportive educational environment.

What truly sets Honey Elementary apart is its exceptional success with students from diverse backgrounds. The school ranks in the top 8% of all Texas schools for its effectiveness with low socio-economic status students, a remarkable feat given that about 49% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This is a stark contrast to Roberts Elementary, another high-performing school in the district, which serves a student body with nearly 80% low-income students but doesn't show the same standout subgroup rankings. Honey also excels with African American students, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide, and has shown significant improvement in serving special education students, jumping from the 66th to the 90th percentile in recent years.

While Honey shines in reading and math, its 5th-grade science scores are a relative weakness, with only 37.5% of students proficient in 2024-2025, though this still beats district and state averages. A fascinating highlight is the dramatic improvement in 4th-grade math, which soared to 86.54% proficiency in 2025-2026—nearly 40 points above the district average. This suggests effective interventions or a strong cohort of students. Interestingly, per-student spending at Honey ($10,573) is higher than some peers like Smith ($9,473) but lower than lower-performing schools like Bayless ($11,264), reinforcing that instructional quality, not just funding, drives success.
