Lubbock-Cooper Central Elementary

Summary:

Lubbock-Cooper Central Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school serving 849 students in grades PK-5 within the Lubbock-Cooper Independent School District (ISD) in Lubbock, Texas.

Lubbock-Cooper Central Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Texas, with strong academic performance that exceeds the district and state averages on STAAR tests. For example, in 2023-2024, 77.69% of 5th-grade students at the school were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 65.96% for the district and 53.96% for the state. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 14.5 may contribute to its academic success. However, the school's demographics differ from nearby schools, with a higher percentage of White students (61.96%) and lower percentage of Hispanic students (30.74%), which may impact its performance. Additionally, while the school excels in the performance of White and male students, it ranks lower for English Language Learners and students with low socioeconomic status, suggesting potential achievement gaps that need to be addressed.

Compared to other nearby elementary schools like Waters Elementary, Lubbock-Cooper South Elementary, and Whiteside Elementary, Lubbock-Cooper Central Elementary stands out for its consistently high academic performance and rankings within the Lubbock-Cooper ISD, which is ranked 154 out of 968 districts in Texas. However, the school's demographic differences and subgroup performance disparities suggest areas for further investigation and potential improvement to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
