Summary:
The 79410 zip code area of Lubbock, Texas is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and underperforming schools, with standout campuses like Wilson Elementary and the magnet middle schools Hutchinson Middle and Commander William C McCool Academy outpacing the district average.
The data suggests significant socioeconomic disparities between the school populations, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 24.14% at Wilson Elementary to 84.48% at Overton Elementary. This likely contributes to the wide performance gaps observed in test scores and other metrics. While the middle schools and elementary schools are generally high-performing, Coronado High School lags behind, pointing to potential issues in the transition from middle to high school.
The Lubbock Independent School District, which all the schools in the data set belong to, is ranked 545 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests the district as a whole may be facing challenges that impact the performance of its individual schools. However, the strong performance of the magnet schools highlights the potential benefits of specialized, focused educational programs that can attract and engage students.
