After years of waiting, the Texas Education Agency released the long-awaited 2024-25 accountability scores for schools and districts across the state.
That means the public can examine how each of the schools within the Lubbock Independent School District performs and compare them to one another.

With nine schools getting straight A's, others failing, and the rest getting B's or C's, here's a look at how each school within LISD did.
What is the TEA accountability rating?
The new TEA A-F ratings factors in many aspects that boils down to three big "domains" that help hold the school accountable while providing transparency to parents.
70% of the score comes from the highest score of the following:
Student Achievement: What students know and can do. (I.e., STAAR scores, graduation rates and college/career readiness.)
School Process: How far students have come or how campuses have done compared to similar comparison groups.
This score comes from the higher Academic Growth or Relative Performance scores.
The other 30% comes from Closing the Gap, or how different student groups are performing.
