MATTHEWS LEARNING CENTER

MATTHEWS LEARNING CENTER is a Title I public high school that is part of the LUBBOCK ISD school district, located in LUBBOCK, TX with about 156 students offering grade levels from 8th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 14 teachers, MATTHEWS LEARNING CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

MATTHEWS LEARNING CENTER, located at 417 N. Akron in Lubbock, Texas, is an alternative education campus within the Lubbock Independent School District (LISD). Designed to serve students who may struggle in a traditional high school setting, the center focuses on providing a structured, supportive environment that helps students recover credits, improve attendance, and work toward high school graduation. The school prioritizes smaller class sizes and personalized instruction to better meet the diverse academic and social-emotional needs of its student population.

Beyond its academic offerings, MATTHEWS LEARNING CENTER emphasizes credit advancement and flexible scheduling to help students overcome barriers to completion. By providing a non-traditional pathway to a diploma, the school aims to keep students engaged in the educational process, offering them a second chance to reach their post-secondary goals. It serves as a vital resource for the Lubbock community, ensuring that at-risk students have the necessary tools, guidance, and academic support to successfully transition into the workforce or higher education.
