Summary

Shallowater Intermediate in Shallowater, TX, serves 382 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of the highly-rated Shallowater Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 89th percentile statewide. This school has a strong track record, consistently earning 4 or 5 stars over the past decade, and it stands out for its exceptional academic performance compared to nearby schools. For example, in 4th Grade Math, Shallowater’s proficiency rate of 62.7% is nearly double that of Rush Elementary (43.08%) and New Deal Elementary (32%). The school also excels in 5th Grade Science, with a proficiency rate of 47.5%, well above the state average of 29.57% and the highest among comparable schools like North Ridge Elementary (45.54%) and Wolffarth Elementary (5.71%).

Shallowater Intermediate benefits from a low poverty rate, with only 35.34% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, compared to nearby schools in the Lubbock Independent School District (Isd) like McWhorter Elementary and Centennial Elementary, which have poverty rates exceeding 80%. The school also spends more per student ($10,181) than many peers, such as Legacy Elementary in the Frenship Independent School District (Isd), which spends $7,935. This combination of lower poverty and higher spending supports a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.3:1, creating a stable learning environment. The school is particularly effective for Male Students and Special Education Students, who rank in the 81st and 82nd percentiles statewide, respectively.

While Shallowater Intermediate remains a top performer, its overall ranking has dipped slightly from a peak of the 95th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 77th percentile in 2025-2026. This decline is most notable among Hispanic Students and Low Socioeconomic Status Students, whose percentile ranks have dropped significantly in recent years. Additionally, the Gifted and Talented subgroup saw a dramatic fall from the 90th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 51st percentile in 2025-2026, which may warrant attention. Despite these trends, the school consistently outperforms the state average in every subject and grade level, making it a solid choice for families seeking a well-resourced, high-performing school in the area.
