Summary

Williams Elementary in Lubbock, TX, is a mid-sized PK-5 school in the Lubbock Independent School District (Isd) serving 296 students, with about 78% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school currently ranks in the 46th percentile statewide (2-star), which is below the state average and significantly lower than several nearby schools like Miller Elementary (94th percentile) and Smith Elementary (89th percentile), both within a 2-mile radius.

A key finding is that Williams Elementary shows inconsistent performance across grade levels. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, 4th-grade math proficiency (58.62%) was nearly double that of 3rd-grade math (30.95%), and 4th-grade reading (55.17%) was significantly higher than 3rd-grade reading (35.71%). This suggests potential challenges with foundational instruction in the early grades, particularly in reading. However, the school does have a notable strength: its African American student subgroup ranked in the 66th percentile statewide (3-star), outperforming the school's overall ranking. Additionally, the school's student-to-teacher ratio of 13.4:1 is favorable and lower than many higher-performing peers.

Interestingly, Wester Elementary, located just 1.18 miles away, has a higher poverty rate (90.25%) but ranks in the 81st percentile (4-star), demonstrating that high poverty does not predetermine low performance. Williams Elementary also spends more per student ($10,084) than high-performing Miller Elementary ($9,184) and Smith Elementary ($9,473), indicating that the performance gap is not due to a lack of financial resources. Areas of concern include declining effectiveness for Special Education students (dropping to the 31st percentile) and Gifted and Talented students (falling to the 29th percentile), suggesting the school may struggle to support students at both ends of the academic spectrum.
