Lubbock-cooper Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Lubbock-cooper Isd

Lubbock-Cooper ISD enrolls a mid-sized student body serving pre-kindergarten through grade 12 across multiple schools in Lubbock County. The district is experiencing growth that has prompted recent infrastructure investment. In 2021, voters approved a major bond package—the largest in Lubbock County history—to fund a second comprehensive high school, a third middle school, a sixth elementary school, and facility renovations. The district stated the bond would not raise the property tax rate by relying instead on residential and commercial growth. Liberty High School, the second comprehensive high school, opened in fall 2023 with 9th and 10th grades, phasing in one grade level annually until becoming fully operational. This restructuring changed high school attendance zones and provided families with a second comprehensive high school choice as the district continues to expand.

The district's enrollment is reasonably stable across grade levels, with a noticeably larger cohort in middle grades. Approximately half of students are Hispanic; approximately half are white. The student population also includes smaller shares of Asian, Black, and multiracial students.

On state assessments, Lubbock-Cooper shows a mixed profile by subject and grade. In English language arts, proficiency ranges from around three-fifths in early elementary through approaching two-thirds in middle grades, with a dip in 7th grade performance followed by stronger results in 8th. Writing and reading fundamentals show reasonable strength in the lower grades. Mathematics tells a different story: performance is above three-fifths in grades 4 and 5, but drops noticeably in grade 6 to just under one-half, falling further to around one-third in 7th grade before recovering to about one-half by 8th. Science proficiency sits at just above two-fifths in 5th grade and around one-half in 8th. Social studies presents the most marked weakness: fewer than one-third of 8th graders score at proficiency. A parent may want to look into this further with the district to understand whether targeted interventions are underway, particularly in middle-grade mathematics and social studies.

Across all subjects combined, the district reports that a substantial majority of students reach the "approaches" level (the lowest proficiency tier), about three-fifths meet standards, and about one-quarter master the content. In English language arts specifically, similar patterns hold: most students approach or meet grade-level work, with about one-quarter achieving mastery.

In chronic absenteeism, Lubbock-Cooper reports a rate above the midpoint among Lubbock County's districts, meaning absenteeism is lower here than the county median, a positive indicator of school engagement.

Overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades places the district above the midpoint among Lubbock County's districts. Per-pupil current spending falls in the middle range, lower half, compared to other county districts.

The district adopted a deficit budget for 2024-2025, a trend affecting many Texas districts due to stagnant state funding. While the prior bond addresses facility growth, persistent deficits can lead to staff reductions, schedule adjustments, or cuts to programs and extracurriculars over time. For families considering the district, this is a factor worth monitoring regarding program stability and instructional resources.

Data on graduation rates was not available. Information on free-or-reduced-price-lunch enrollment, special education enrollment, and English learner enrollment was not provided. Housing values in the district's service area are moderate, with strong year-over-year appreciation, and rental costs are affordable relative to national benchmarks.
