Summary

Wheelock Elementary is a public elementary school in Lubbock, Texas, serving 298 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lubbock Independent School District, which is ranked 576 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wheelock Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools over the past 10 years, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 29.17% of 3rd-grade students at Wheelock were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.75% for the district and 52.02% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in STAAR Science, with only 7.32% of 5th-graders proficient or better, compared to 29.09% for the district and 29.57% for the state. Wheelock Elementary has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 88.59% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Compared to nearby schools in the Lubbock ISD, such as Miller Elementary and Wilson Elementary, which are ranked in the top 10-20% of Texas elementary schools, Wheelock Elementary performs significantly worse. These higher-performing schools have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students and better STAAR test results across all subjects and grade levels. Wheelock's consistently low performance and lack of improvement over the past several years suggest a need for more targeted interventions and support to address the school's challenges.

This school is very welcoming, loving, and they accommodate my kids who are multiple levels. Having had my kids in multiple elementaries, this one is by far the best one. Close Quote
