Summary

Maedgen Elementary in Lubbock, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 314 students in grades PK-5 within the Lubbock Independent School District, where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a high level of economic disadvantage in the area.

Maedgen’s performance is notably volatile compared to nearby schools like Miller Elementary and Wilson Elementary, which have consistently ranked in the top 10-15% statewide. Maedgen has swung from the 87th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 41st percentile in 2024-2025, then back to the 53rd percentile in 2025-2026. This instability is a key concern, especially since the school has shown it can achieve top-tier results, particularly in upper-grade math. For instance, in 2022-2023, 4th and 5th-grade math proficiency soared to 90% and 88%, far exceeding district and state averages. However, this success hasn’t been sustained, creating a "barbell" effect where the school excels in some grades and subjects while struggling in others. In the most recent testing year, 5th-grade math proficiency (57.78%) was above the state average, but 3rd-grade math (37.5%) fell below it.

A critical weakness is 5th-grade science, where proficiency dropped to just 6% in 2024-2025, the lowest among peers like Wheelock Elementary (7.32%) and Overton Elementary (18.18%). Despite these challenges, Maedgen shows strength with its most vulnerable students, ranking in the 75th percentile for low socio-economic status students and 72nd percentile for special education students in recent years. However, a troubling trend is the declining performance of female students, whose rank dropped from the 59th percentile to the 35th percentile over two years. While schools like Wester Elementary (81st percentile in 2025-2026) have shown a clear upward trajectory with similar demographics, Maedgen’s erratic performance suggests issues with instructional consistency or leadership stability rather than resources, as its per-student spending ($9,857) and student-teacher ratio (15:1) are average for the area.
