Levelland Independent School District (Isd)

The Levelland Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving a diverse student population with a majority of Hispanic students. The district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the inconsistent academic performance observed across the schools.

Levelland High School stands out with a relatively high graduation rate and above-average performance on several STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, though it struggles with Algebra I proficiency. In contrast, Levelland Middle School excels in Algebra I EOC but lags behind in overall STAAR proficiency, particularly in reading and math. The Levelland Academic Beginnings Center, an early childhood center, serves a high-need student population with the highest percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients in the district.

The elementary schools, Capitol Elementary and South Elementary, show varying STAAR performance, with Capitol Elementary outperforming South Elementary in both reading and math for 3rd and 4th grades. The district's declining statewide rankings for some campuses, such as Levelland Middle School and South Elementary, suggest a need for targeted interventions and a focus on educational equity to improve student outcomes across the Levelland ISD.
