Harwell Elementary

Harwell Elementary sits in a working-class corner of Lubbock, a sprawling West Texas city where the wind is constant and community ties run deep. The school serves a neighborhood where many families have deep roots in the area, and while test scores reflect some of the challenges that come with that context, the science program shows a real bright spot worth noting. Families looking for a close-knit school in a no-frills part of Lubbock where staff tend to know students by name may find Harwell a comfortable fit.
