Alderson EL is a elementary school located in Lubbock, TX, serving grades -1–5 and approximately 439 students. Operated by Lubbock ISD, the campus sits about 2.8 miles from The Lubbock's newsroom and is part of The Lubbock's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 39 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 11.3:1. That ratio is below the state average for TX, generally an indicator of smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction.

Alderson EL operates as a publicly funded charter school. These designations affect funding, enrollment policy, and the kinds of state and federal accountability measures the campus is subject to.

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.

For families in Lubbock considering elementary placement, Alderson EL is one of the campuses The Lubbock regularly covers — including school board decisions, bond elections, and individual program changes that affect enrollment.
