Relocation Information
After you've accepted your dream job offer, you'll be even more excited to know that along with Lubbock's beautiful landscapes, excellent schools and friendly neighbors, your new home also boasts one of the lowest costs of living in the nation.

Schools
The exceptional educational system is just another great reason to call Lubbock home.
The Lubbock Independent School District is comprised of 60 schools from elementary to high school. While LISD educates around 30,000 students annually, its attractively low student-to-teacher ratio provides students with an excellent learning environment. Moreover, the Foundation for Excellence has been supporting Lubbock ISD and its students for over a decade. The Foundation works tirelessly to ensure top-notch facilities and innovative instruction programs, while going above and beyond the district's fiscal policies to give our students and teachers the tools they need for success. Find out more about Lubbock ISD at www.LubbockISD.org.
Frenship Independent School District serves western portions of Lubbock and southwestern Lubbock County. Frenship ISD has a total of eight schools, four in the city of Lubbock.
