Schools in Whitharral ISD · Hockley County

Levelland anchors Hockley County as its largest city, but the most compelling public school performances are coming out of Sundown, a smaller community to the west. Sundown Elementary ranks in the 94th percentile statewide, and Sundown Junior High follows close behind at the 84th — making the Sundown ISD a consistent bright spot across grade levels. Whitharral School, serving a rural stretch of the county, also clears the 85th percentile. With 11 ranked schools spread across 6 districts in this flat West Texas landscape, families in Hockley County have more high-performing options than the county's modest size might suggest.
