Ralls Elementary

Ralls is a small, tight-knit farming community on the South Plains of West Texas, where the pace is slow and neighbors know each other by name — but families looking for strong academics may find Ralls Elementary a tough fit, as the school scores near the bottom of the state in English and Math. The science scores show a bit more promise, and for families already rooted in this rural community, the small-town environment means kids are never just a number. That said, families with flexibility who prioritize academics may want to explore other options within commuting distance of Lubbock.
