Summary:
The 73029 zip code is home to a single middle school, Cyril Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with proficiency rates below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, it excels in Science with above-average scores.
Cyril Junior High School has a relatively small student population of 57 and a student-teacher ratio of 16.6. The school serves a predominantly low-income student body, with 73.68% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This, combined with the school's below-average performance in some subjects, raises concerns about educational equity and the ability of the school to provide a high-quality education to all students. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% is higher than the state average, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.
Over the years, Cyril Junior High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated, from a high of 105th out of 407 middle schools in 2020-2021 to 136th out of 369 in the most recent 2024-2025 school year, suggesting a potential decline in performance compared to other middle schools in the state. However, the school's strength in Science performance could be an area to build upon to improve overall academic outcomes.
