Data showed that Lubbock-Cooper ISD schools welcomed 7,750 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 2% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Lubbock-Cooper ISD roughly covers schools within Lubbock County and has a main office in Lubbock.

Among the 10 schools in Lubbock-Cooper ISD schools, Lubbock-Cooper High School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 38 students.

The Texas education system is currently torn between public schools and taxpayer-funded private schools.

Critics argue that private schools use funds that should go to the public school system, while private school advocates claim they’re offering better education for more Texas students.
