2019 Best School Districts in the Lubbock AreaAbout this List

Lubbock-Cooper Independent School District

• School District
• Lubbock, TX
• 22

Senior: Lubbock-Cooper is an outstanding school. However, from a student's perspective, it may not seem that way sometimes. Cooper is a lot more strict than most schools are. Lubbock-Cooper cares about its students and will make very strict rules in order to prove that. Though it may deter students, Lubbock-Cooper provides an amazing learning service and shapes the men and women of the future through education.

Frenship Independent School District

• School District
• Wolfforth, TX
• 43

Senior: I have been at Frenship Independent School District since third grade and I have loved every minute of it. The staff and teachers always do everything they can to help their students succeed and achieve their goals. The teachers push us students and prepare us not only for the years of school we have ahead of us, but also for life. The Frenship community is a something great to be apart of. The Students and their families get involved in Festivals, Fundraisers, Musicals, and so much more.
The school district is growing rapidly! This is one problem I see within the high schools and middle schools. The class sizes are getting to large for students to be able to have one-on-one time with the teachers. So, I think that it is important to invest in building a new high school to split up the student population and make it easier on everyone.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Frenship School District to anyone and everyone!

Shallowater Independent School District

• School District
• Shallowater, TX
• 10

Alum: Shallowater schools allowed me a safe and loving environment to find myself and my strengths. I played many sports through high school and middle school and I graduate with all A's. This wouldn't have been possible if the teachers and administration didn't push me like they did. They believe in the students who go through the school and they love what the do! I currently have younger siblings who are attending and they love it just as much as I do!

Abernathy Independent School District

• School District
• Abernathy, TX
• 4

Senior: My experience at Abernathy independent school district was great. Abernathy is a medium sized school and is in division 3A. I loved going to Abernathy school because the smallness made student athletes able to compete in multiple sports where as in a big school most athletes only compete in one sport. The teachers at Abernathy are great and there is no other school I would have wanted to go to.

Lubbock Independent School District

• School District
• Lubbock, TX
• 70

Senior: I've been apart of Lubbock Independent School District since I was kindergarten. I've always felt welcome and wanted here. I feel I've been taught the value of education through amazing teachers from Lubbock ISD. For the majority of my life I wanted to become a teacher because I was intrigued and inspired by my own teachers. I love the atmosphere and opportunities that Lubbock ISD has provided me. Because of the family atmosphere the schools and their feeder schools have created, the district created a program called Ready, Set, Teach! where a junior or senior in high school (with the right qualifications) gets to go to an elementary school of their choice to student teach in a classroom. It's an eyeopening experience to a student to see what a teacher truly goes through everyday. It has been an amazing opportunity for me and I know of many other opportunities similar to my own. Lubbock Independent School District has helped shape me into the woman I am today. Thank you.

Senior: Lockney is a well administrated, and encouraging community to live in. It is a very unique, small, and old fashioned town, and that is okay! LISD has many positive and well taught programs. The science teachers at our school are phenomenal. The other teachers are exceptional as well, but our own science teachers coach the state qualifying and state champion science team every year! Fully committed people keep us going and that's why Lockey is phenominal

Cotton Center Independent School District

• School District
• Cotton Center, TX

Senior: I absolutely love Cotton center ISD. They have wonderful teachers who are willing to stay after hours for one on one teaching to ensure you do your best. The coaches in the athletic department are constantly working on new ways to improve the sports teams and ensure that every event is a group effort. since coming to Cotton Center, I have improved as an individual and been able to participate in many more school related events and excel at them. Thanks to Cotton Center I was able to go to State for UIL Social Studies last year, which would not have been possible without the help of the hardworking staff.

Ralls Independent School District

• School District
• Ralls, TX
• 2

Senior: I have loved going to Ralls High School. There is just so much diversity in everything, but in a good way! The students, the teachers, and the administrators all have their own personal personalities that I love to learn about! We of course aren't perfect at sports but I think that the coaches and athletes really do try their best and most of the time, it really pays off. There has never been a time when I have ever felt unsafe at Ralls High School either, we have great security and good back up plans if anything were ever to happen. Overall, the school has been great to my family and I and I have learned so much not only academically, but socially, and societal as well.

New Deal Independent School District

• School District
• New Deal, TX
• 4

Senior: New Deal is a small school in an even smaller town. Everybody knows everybody and the town is very friendly. The school itself is a STEM academy and focuses mostly on its athletics, thus, only rating four stars. The teachers are very dedicated to their jobs and strive to educate their students in academics and help prepare them for their futures.

Hale Center Independent School District

• School District
• Hale Center, TX
• 5

Senior: I moved into Hale Center when I was a Sophomore. Coming into this school, I did notice that it had it's downsides. Before you get into what modern movies will call a "click," it's pretty hard to get along with the kids that are around you. But after you get past that initial part of getting "accepted," you learn that this school is more than just friends. You get into the activities and the sports, and you fall in love with it.

Levelland Independent School District

• School District
• Levelland, TX
• 4

Alum: I attended schools in the Levelland school district from Pre-kindergarten through grade 12. The teachers are caring and supportive, always going the extra mile to let their students know that we were more to them than a statistic for a state test. The district is willing to listen to what parents have to say about changes that need to be made in order to better the education and over all experience of the students in the LISD.

Plainview Independent School District

• School District
• Plainview, TX
• 36

Senior: I liked the traditional school spirit vibe, the helpfulness and caring teachers, the diversity of students, the many student organizations offered, and the career technical courses offered for those wanting to pursue a career in the medical, engineering, agricultural, business and fashion world. What I felt quite disturbing and unnecessary was how this school is so focused on wanting every student to aim for higher education. Many students at PHS can't afford to continue their education therefore decide to graduate with a high school diploma, and enter the workforce. The way some teachers criticize several students based on their lifestyle is something I found disrespectful. Every student should be treated with the same amount of respect and dignity no matter the education their parents received or their ethnicity background.
