Summary:
The three elementary schools in zip code 79336 (Levelland, TX) are part of the Levelland Independent School District (Isd), serving students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade in a high-poverty area where 70% to 78% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Capitol Elementary stands out as the academic leader, earning a 2-star rating and being the only school where students outperform the state average—specifically, 51.61% of 4th graders were proficient in Mathematics in 2025-2026, beating the state average of 49.28%. In contrast, South Elementary is the most challenged, with a 0-star rating and a troubling 10.94% proficiency rate in 3rd-grade Math, a 33-point gap from the state average. Levelland Academic Beginnings Center serves as a unique early childhood center for PK-1st grade, with the largest enrollment (518 students) and highest student-teacher ratio (16.4:1), but no standardized test data is available for comparison.
Key metrics reveal stark differences: Capitol Elementary spends the most per student ($11,164) and has the best outcomes, while South Elementary spends the least ($10,567) and has the worst outcomes, despite serving the highest percentage of low-income students (78.15%). The district overall ranks in the 19th percentile statewide, highlighting significant challenges. The data suggests Capitol's effective math curriculum could serve as a model for the district, while South's math crisis in 3rd grade—a critical year for foundational skills—raises concerns about future academic hurdles for its students.
