Summary

Wolffarth Elementary is a PK-5 school in the Lubbock Independent School District (Isd) serving 282 students in a high-poverty area, where over 93% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has experienced a dramatic and recent performance collapse, dropping from the 65th percentile (3 stars) in 2022-2023 to the 15th percentile (1 star) in 2025-2026, a much steeper decline than nearby peers like McWhorter Elementary (which fell from the 61st to 31st percentile) or Wilson Elementary (which remains a top performer at the 91st percentile). This sudden downturn is the most critical story for this school, signaling a major disruption that parents should be aware of.

The decline is most pronounced in Mathematics, where 5th graders saw a 38.5 percentage point drop in proficiency—from 66% in 2022-2023 (outperforming the district and state) to just 27.5% in 2025-2026 (falling below both). Science scores have also been persistently low, with only 5.71% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, the lowest among nearby schools like Carmona-Harrison Elementary (8.96%) and Overton Elementary (18.18%). Interestingly, Wolffarth had a proven track record of success with its most vulnerable students, ranking in the 84th percentile for low socio-economic status students in 2023-2024, but that effectiveness has completely inverted, with those same groups now ranking in the 29th percentile.

Despite its challenges, Wolffarth showed remarkable resilience post-pandemic, with its best performance in 2021-2022 (71st percentile), suggesting effective strategies were once in place. The stark contrast with Wilson Elementary—just 2.56 miles away but with a 26% free/reduced lunch rate and consistent 90th percentile rankings—highlights the powerful correlation between socioeconomic factors and outcomes. However, Wolffarth's previous success despite high poverty makes its recent decline all the more concerning. The school's immediate priority must be to diagnose the root cause of this collapse—whether from changes in curriculum, staffing, or student demographics—and re-implement the practices that made it a standout performer just two years ago.

Don't get me wrong glad we have the school at its location. I just simply believe our children deserve better attention. I've been in there bathrooms and there was no hand soap most of last year. Also I had a big issue with my child coming home with lice... I'd buy her the box of lice medicine and within two weeks I had to buy her another. This went on for about half of the end of school year. All summer we didn't have any lice in her hair at all and thank goodness this year we haven't had them come back yet. Please help our children have the same treatment to these issues and more as other schools on the other side of town do. I appreciate your attention.
