Matthews Academy

Matthews Academy is a high school located in Lubbock, TX, serving grades 9–12 and approximately 103 students. Operated by Lubbock ISD, the campus sits about 2.1 miles from The Lubbock's newsroom and is part of The Lubbock's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 11 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 9.4:1. That ratio is below the state average for TX, generally an indicator of smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction.

Matthews Academy is a traditional zoned public school within Lubbock ISD, meaning enrollment is generally tied to residence within the school's attendance boundary. Boundary maps and feeder patterns are published by the district and updated annually.

State accountability ratings for TEA are released annually and combine student achievement, growth, and closing-the-gaps metrics. The Lubbock publishes rating updates as soon as they become public each fall, with comparisons to nearby campuses and prior-year trends.
