Summary:
The 79423 zip code area is home to 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, across two school districts - Lubbock-Cooper Independent School District (ISD) and Lubbock Independent School District (ISD). The standout schools in this area are Lubbock-Cooper Central Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, Lubbock-Cooper High School, which has a strong academic profile and high graduation rates, and Roberts Elementary, which outperforms the Lubbock ISD district despite being part of it.
The Lubbock-Cooper ISD schools generally outperform the Lubbock ISD schools across key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and dropout rates, suggesting the Lubbock-Cooper district is providing a higher quality education. However, there is a wide range in the demographic makeup of the schools, with some having a majority white student population and others having a majority Hispanic student population. The schools with the highest percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients tend to have lower test scores, highlighting the correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance.
The data also reveals some challenges faced by the schools in the area. Lubbock-Cooper New Hope Academy, an alternative high school, has lower test scores, graduation rates, and higher dropout rates compared to the main Lubbock-Cooper High School, underscoring the difficulties alternative schools face in supporting student success. Additionally, there is a wide range in per-student spending, from around $7,600 to $10,600, which may contribute to the performance differences between the schools.
