Lubbock Independent School District (Isd)

The Lubbock Independent School District (ISD) in Texas encompasses 48 schools, including 30 elementary schools, 9 middle schools, 8 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population with a range of academic performance and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Among the standout schools in the district are Talkington School For Young Women Leaders, a top-ranked high school with a 100% four-year graduation rate and exceptional academic performance, and Hutchinson Middle, a high-performing magnet middle school. At the elementary level, Smith Elementary and Wilson Elementary rank among the top schools in the district, with strong proficiency rates in core subjects.

However, the data also reveals significant gaps in academic performance between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools, both within the district and compared to state averages. This disparity is often correlated with socioeconomic factors, as schools with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower proficiency rates. The district's alternative and juvenile justice schools also face unique challenges, with lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable resource allocation will be crucial for supporting the success of all students in the Lubbock Independent School District (ISD).
