Summary:
The Cisco Independent School District (Isd) in Cisco, Texas, serves approximately 835 students across four schools—Cisco Elementary, Cisco J H, Cisco High School, and Cisco Learning Center—and is rated a 4-star district, ranking in the 75th percentile statewide.
Cisco High School is the district’s standout, earning a 5-star rating and 94th percentile ranking with exceptional test scores—such as 90.74% proficiency in Biology versus the state’s 70.51%—and a perfect 100% graduation rate. In contrast, Cisco Learning Center is a small alternative high school (12 students) with the highest per-pupil spending ($20,393) and a 2.9:1 student-teacher ratio, also achieving a 100% graduation rate despite serving a higher-need population. Cisco J H is a consistent 4-star performer, excelling in Reading and Social Studies, while Cisco Elementary serves the largest enrollment (428 students) with a 13:1 student-teacher ratio.
A key takeaway is the district’s systemic math challenge: 5th-grade math proficiency at Cisco Elementary (26.03%) and 6th-grade math at Cisco J H (30.65%) both lag behind state averages. However, Cisco J H shows a bright spot with 100% proficiency on the Algebra I exam, indicating strong acceleration for top math students. Resource allocation is strategic, with Cisco Learning Center and Cisco High School receiving significantly more funding per student than the elementary and middle schools, reflecting a focus on secondary and alternative education.
