Honey EL

Honey Elementary serves 424 students in Lubbock, Texas, covering pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. It earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — a rating of Exceptional — driven by a 9.6 in both academics and growth. Those numbers translate directly into its standing: Honey ranks #1 among all 65 public schools in Lubbock, and #130 out of 8,547 public schools statewide, placing it in the top 2% of Texas schools overall.

The academic and growth subscores tell the same story. Students here aren't just performing well at a single point in time — the 9.6 growth score signals that learners are making above-average gains year over year, regardless of where they start. That combination of high achievement and strong upward trajectory is rare at any school, let alone a neighborhood elementary.

Class sizes stay manageable at a 15.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio, giving teachers meaningful contact time with each student. Honey is a regular public school, so its results reflect what's possible within the standard district structure — no selective admissions, no magnet designation. For families evaluating elementary options in Lubbock, Honey sits at the top of the field by a wide margin, also ranking #96 among 4,678 elementary schools across Texas.
