The school has earned recognition for its performance, receiving a MySchoolScout rating of 7.3 out of 10 and ranking #851 out of 8,598 schools statewide, placing it in the 90th percentile among Texas schools.
This strong ranking suggests the school is successfully serving its students despite its small size and rural location.

The area's median household income is $40,000, with median home values around $90,000, reflecting the rural agricultural character of the region.
The small enrollment allows students to participate in multiple activities and receive individualized support throughout their educational journey from prekindergarten through graduation.

What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 129 students, Lazbuddie School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
With a student-teacher ratio of 7.6:1, Lazbuddie School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
Located in a rural area, Lazbuddie School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
