Frenship ISD's accountability rating dropped from a B to a C for the 2025-26 school year, a surprising downgrade.

Lubbock ISD also kept its overall B rating, showing slight improvements in specific areas across its many campuses. This means two of the largest educational systems, serving students from the Depot District to the South Plains Mall, achieved a solid B, reflecting consistent performance.

This shift directly impacts families living in neighborhoods like Raintree and across the growing west side of town. State report cards often influence property values and guide families in critical educational decisions about school quality and future opportunities for their children. These three major school systems collectively educate over 35,000 students throughout the Hub City.
