Lubbock-Cooper South Elementary

Summary:

Lubbock-Cooper South Elementary is a public elementary school serving 739 students in grades PK-5 in the Lubbock-Cooper Independent School District (ISD) in Lubbock, Texas. The school has a predominantly White (57.37%) and Hispanic (40.6%) student population and has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking in the top 20-25% of Texas elementary schools.

Lubbock-Cooper South Elementary generally outperforms the state and district averages in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science assessments, with particularly strong performance in 4th grade Reading and Mathematics. The school serves a more economically diverse student population compared to nearby Lubbock ISD schools, with a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.5, which may contribute to its academic success.

However, the school faces challenges in serving its English Language Learner (ELL) and Special Education student populations, ranking in the bottom 25-40% of Texas elementary schools for these subgroups. This suggests the school may need to focus on improving support and resources for these vulnerable student populations. Despite these challenges, Lubbock-Cooper South Elementary's strong academic performance, particularly in core subjects, is noteworthy given its relatively lower per-student spending compared to some nearby schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
