Lubbock-Cooper Independent School District (Isd)

The Lubbock-Cooper Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative high school. The district as a whole is ranked 154 out of 968 school districts in Texas and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Several schools within the district stand out as high-performing, including Lubbock-Cooper Central Elementary and Lubbock-Cooper West Elementary, both of which are ranked in the top 500 elementary schools in Texas and have 5-star ratings. Additionally, Lubbock-Cooper Laura Bush Middle is ranked 477 out of 2,361 middle schools in the state and has a 4-star rating. These top-performing schools consistently outperform the district and state averages on STAAR tests, particularly in reading, mathematics, and Algebra I.

While the district overall performs well, there are some disparities in performance and resource allocation. Schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower test scores, suggesting the need to address equity and support for economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the presence of Lubbock-Cooper New Hope Academy, an alternative high school, indicates the district's efforts to cater to the needs of students who may require a different educational approach, though this school has lower graduation and higher dropout rates compared to the district's other high school.
