Lubbock ISD School District

Lubbock ISD serves 24,329 students across 49 schools in Texas, making it a sizable urban district with enough campus variety to reward careful comparison. The district spans elementary through high school, giving families options at every level within a single system. With 48 schools ranked on MySchoolScout, parents have concrete data to work with across nearly every campus.

The district average of 7.1 out of 10 across those 48 ranked schools signals consistent, mid-to-upper-tier performance systemwide. That baseline, combined with five schools scoring 8.6 or higher, makes one thing clear: Lubbock ISD is not a flat, single-story district. Performance concentrates sharply at the top for families who dig into individual campuses rather than stopping at the district average.

Elementary schools carry the district's strongest scores. Honey Elementary leads at 9.2, tied for the district's top spot with Talkington School for Young Women Leaders — a specialized high school that earns the same score. Wilson Elementary (9.1) and Ramirez Elementary (8.9) hold the next two positions, while Rush Elementary at 8.6 rounds out a five-school upper band. Four of those five top campuses are elementary schools, which matters for families building a long-term academic plan — the strongest instruction in this district starts early.

Talkington School for Young Women Leaders is the outlier worth noting. A focused program designed for young women, it stands alone as the only high school in the district's top tier and earns its 9.2 by running a purposeful academic environment rather than a traditional neighborhood school. Families with daughters approaching ninth grade should put it on a short list. Across Lubbock ISD's full 49-school footprint, the spread between the district average and its top performers is nearly two full points — wide enough that the campus you choose makes a real difference in what your child's school experience looks like.
