District-Level NCES Analysis
Lubbock-Cooper Isd operates 10 public schools serving 7,750 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 combined, 3 middle, 2 high schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Lubbock County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,160 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 121 of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 59.8% local, 28.1% state, and 12.0% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 23/100, ranked #938 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 10 schools offering Advanced Placement (11 AP courses district-wide), a 652:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 21.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 51.2% White, 40.8% Hispanic or Latino, 2.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Lubbock-Cooper East El, with a diversity index of 60.2/100.
Its largest campus is Lubbock-Cooper H S, enrolling 1,856 students (25% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is L C Y C, at 1 students, a 1856x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Lubbock-Cooper H S accounts for 23.9% of all Lubbock-Cooper Isd student enrollment
That concentration means Lubbock-Cooper Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Lubbock-Cooper Isd school enrollment varies 1856× across entities
Lubbock-Cooper Isd school enrollment ranges from 1 students (lowest) to 1,856 students (highest), a spread of 1,855 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Lubbock-Cooper Isd student-counselor ratio is 652:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Lubbock-Cooper Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 21.6% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Lubbock-Cooper Isd is typically wider than the Lubbock-Cooper Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
