Summary

Roberts Elementary in Lubbock, TX, is a PK-5 school in the Lubbock Independent School District (Isd) serving 526 students, and it has transformed from a below-average performer a decade ago into a top-tier institution currently ranking in the 88th percentile statewide with a 4-star rating. This remarkable and sustained improvement is especially notable given that nearly 80% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a demographic that often correlates with lower academic performance. The school is a clear outlier for success within its district, significantly outperforming most nearby peers, such as Waters Elementary (which serves a similar demographic but ranks in the 48th percentile) and Brown Elementary (95.84% free/reduced lunch, ranking in the 25th percentile).

The most defining characteristic of Roberts Elementary is its exceptional performance for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the 97th percentile for serving these students—a phenomenal achievement that redefines expectations. The school also excels for its Hispanic student population, ranking in the 94th percentile, and provides outstanding support for special education students (84th percentile) and African American students (91st percentile). This consistent, across-the-board excellence is reflected in STAAR test scores that are dramatically higher than both district and state averages; for example, 3rd-grade Reading proficiency was 82.56% versus the state average of 52.02%, and 3rd-grade Math was 81.4% versus 44.88%.

While the school's rank dipped slightly from a peak of 5 stars (95th percentile) in 2024-2025 to 4 stars (88th percentile) in 2025-2026—driven by a decline in 5th-grade Reading and Math scores—this remains an outstanding performance. Notably, Roberts achieves these results with efficient spending of $9,202 per student, which is lower than many lower-performing peers in the district, such as Wheelock Elementary ($12,547) and Hodges Elementary ($13,612). This combination of high achievement, strong support for diverse learners, and cost-effectiveness makes Roberts a powerful "poverty is not destiny" success story in the Lubbock area.
