Schools in Shallowater ISD · Lubbock County

The high plains of West Texas can feel wide open and unforgiving, and Lubbock County's public school landscape has some of that same range — 87 ranked schools spread across 15 districts, from the city's urban core to smaller surrounding towns like Slaton and Wolfforth. About a third of those schools land in the top quartile statewide, a stronger showing than the county's modest regional profile might suggest. Leading the list is Talkington School for Young Women Leaders, ranked in the 99th percentile statewide, with Crestview Elementary close behind at 96th. Families relocating to the Lubbock area have real options worth investigating.
