Summary:
The six schools in zip code 79336 serve the city of Levelland, Texas, and are primarily part of the Levelland Independent School District (ISD), which ranks in the 19th percentile of Texas districts, with one alternative school, Mosaic Academy, belonging to the Paint Rock Independent School District (ISD).
Among the elementary schools, Capitol Elementary stands out as the highest-performing, earning a 2-star rating and showing consistent improvement, with 4th-grade math scores (51.61%) exceeding the state average. In contrast, South Elementary has experienced a dramatic decline, dropping from a 2-star to a 0-star rating, with a 3rd-grade math proficiency rate of just 10.94%. Levelland Middle presents a unique "Algebra I anomaly": while its general math scores are very low (7th-grade proficiency at 6.99%), over 91% of its 8th-grade students taking Algebra I score proficient, suggesting a highly effective advanced math program. Levelland High School boasts a strong graduation rate of 95.2% and a low dropout rate of 0.4%, yet its academic performance on state tests remains below average, with only 39.89% proficient in U.S. History. Mosaic Academy, with only 29 students and a 5.6:1 student-teacher ratio, is a statistical outlier with no test scores available.
A system-wide struggle with mathematics is evident, as most schools score significantly below state averages in math, with the middle school transition being a critical point of failure. The average free/reduced lunch rate across schools is 71.4%, indicating a high-poverty student population. Per-student spending is consistent, ranging from $10,483 at Levelland Middle to $12,016 at the high school. Overall, the district shows a declining performance trajectory, with only Capitol Elementary demonstrating stable, modest improvement, while the high school's paradox of high graduation rates but low test scores suggests a focus on retention over academic mastery.
