Lazbuddie Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Lazbuddie Isd

Lazbuddie Independent School District is a small rural district serving prekindergarten through grade twelve in Parmer County in the Texas Panhandle. The district comprises a single school, Lazbuddie School, and educates a community of about one hundred thirty students across all grade levels.

The student body is predominantly white, with a substantial Hispanic population and small numbers of students from other racial backgrounds. No data was available on free-or-reduced-price-lunch eligibility or English learner enrollment, so a reader seeking that information should contact the district directly.

Academic performance across tested grades shows consistent challenge in mathematics. In grade three, fourth-grade, and fifth-grade math, proficiency sits in single digits to low-twenties range. Sixth-grade math shows similarly low proficiency, though seventh-grade improves somewhat. The pattern suggests many students are not meeting grade-level expectations in math by the time they reach upper elementary grades. A parent may want to look into how the district identifies struggling students early and what intervention or support structures exist.

English language arts shows more variability. Third and fourth grade perform in the low-to-mid range, fifth and sixth grade somewhat lower, but eighth-grade jumps considerably, with a majority of eighth graders meeting or exceeding proficiency. This uneven pattern across grades is worth understanding in context. Science proficiency is mixed, with very low performance in fifth grade but moderate performance in eighth grade. Social studies shows the highest proficiency in eighth grade among tested subjects.

At the district level, Lazbuddie's overall proficiency index sits below the midpoint among Parmer County's districts. Chronic absenteeism is moderate and above the median for the county. Per-pupil spending is in the upper range for the county, suggesting the district invests substantially in each student despite its small enrollment.

Parmer County overall is rural agricultural land on the Panhandle plains. Housing values in the district's service area fall below state and national benchmarks, with estimated median home values in the low-to-mid-range for the region. This affordability reflects the rural character and economic base of the area. The local labor market shows unemployment near the national average and median household income near the national level, though specific data for this small district's immediate community was not available.

No data on graduation rate, program offerings, or staffing was provided, so those aspects remain unclear. A family considering this district should request information directly about high school pathways, course offerings, and how the school supports students moving through the system, particularly given the math performance concerns at the elementary level.
