Summary

Stewart Elementary in Lubbock, TX, is a PK-5 school in the Lubbock Independent School District serving 369 students in a high-poverty area, where about 88% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has experienced a dramatic and recent performance collapse, dropping from the 63rd percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 20th percentile in 2025-2026—a much steeper decline than nearby schools like Wester Elementary, which serves a nearly identical student population but ranks in the 81st percentile. This volatility is unique to Stewart, as its peers have not seen such a sharp fall from a position of relative strength.

Math performance at Stewart is highly inconsistent by grade level, creating a "tale of two subjects." In 2023-2024, 4th graders achieved a remarkable 71.15% proficiency rate in math, far exceeding the district average of 43.81%, but just one year later, the same cohort as 5th graders scored only 38.6%. This pattern suggests success may be tied to specific teachers or strategies not replicated across all grades, unlike top-performing nearby schools like Miller Elementary, which shows consistent strength across all grades. The most significant academic weakness is 5th-grade math, where only 25.58% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, a staggering 22 percentage points below the district average and the lowest among all nearby schools for that subject and grade.

Stewart’s per-student spending ($9,768 in 2020-2021) is higher than that of Miller ($9,184) and comparable to Whiteside Elementary ($9,779), yet its academic outcomes are drastically lower. This underperformance despite high spending contrasts sharply with Miller, which achieves top-quartile results with lower spending. The recent decline is broad-based, affecting nearly all student subgroups, with African American students ranking in the 0th percentile statewide in 2025-2026—a catastrophic collapse from the 65th percentile just two years prior. The success of nearby Wester, which proves high poverty does not have to dictate low performance, provides a clear benchmark for what is possible within the same district and neighborhood.

This school has been so amazing. It is a small school with a small town environment. The staff encourages parental involvement and the teachers really make a point to keep the students engaged and excited about learning. Substituted at several other schools besides Stewart and I feel like this is one of the best Elementary schools around Lubbock because you do not have to fit in and they are all so welcoming. Despite the 2 out of 10 (which does not explain how this school actually is, you can't judge the school until you know), I feel like Stewart provides the building blocks for success and I would highly recommend this school to anyone who feels like a big LISD school is too much for them.

I love the small school atmosphere that the staff gives you! The teachers really do care about your kids and do their best to get them prepared for the next level. The test scores are a terrible reflection of this school because it is for a fact it is not because of the staff, just like at every school, some parents just do not care about their child's education and use school as a "break" from their children. I can ensure you that the kids here learn and the teachers do a fabulous job!! Close Quote

This school is so great and the teachers are welcoming on a one on one level. I love the small school atmosphere and they teach active learning which is a critical componet in curriculum because it keeps the child engaged. I don't care what the scores show, it's not just the teacher's NOT doing their jobs, it is usually because of the child and mostly the parents who don't care enough about their child's education and that happens at every school. I really love being here and would encourage it to anyone who wants their child to be in a great enviornment!! Close Quote
