It's no secret that Lubbock has some of the best schools in the state and nation thanks to our great teachers and educational staff. If you have a young child, there are several local schools that rank highly according to website Great Schools.
However, if you're relocating to Lubbock or have a child heading into middle or high school next year, there are a few schools to consider as well.
