Slaton Middle

Slaton Middle serves a working-class neighborhood on Lubbock's south side, where families are closely tied to their community and school staff tends to know students by name. The school faces real academic challenges — particularly in English and science — that families should weigh carefully when considering their options. That said, Lubbock itself is an affordable, tight-knit West Texas city with a strong sense of local pride, and families willing to stay engaged in their child's education may find that involvement makes a meaningful difference here.
