Hodges Elementary

Hodges Elementary sits in south Lubbock, a part of the city with deep roots and a tight-knit, working-class character that gives the school its grounded community feel. The standout story here is science — Hodges ranks in the 91st percentile statewide in that subject, a genuine bright spot that sets it apart from many schools at a similar overall level. Families who value hands-on STEM learning and want a neighborhood school with a strong scientific foundation will find something worth noting here.
