Roberts Elementary consistently outperforms the Lubbock ISD and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores, with significantly higher proficiency rates in reading and math compared to district and state averages. For example, 74.36% of 3rd-grade students at Roberts Elementary were proficient or better in reading, compared to 48.07% for Lubbock ISD and 48.85% for Texas.

Roberts Elementary also excels in the performance of specific student subgroups, particularly Hispanic and Special Education students, who rank among the top in the state.

While Roberts Elementary outperforms the district and state, some nearby schools within the Lubbock ISD, such as Honey Elementary and Miller Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic performance. However, other nearby schools, like Harwell Elementary and Brown Elementary, have significantly lower STAAR scores and statewide rankings. This highlights the disparities within the Lubbock ISD, despite Roberts Elementary's ability to effectively support and educate its predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
