Summary:
In Cisco, Texas, there is a single middle school, Cisco J H, serving grades 6 through 8 with 170 students as part of the Cisco Independent School District (Isd), a 4-star rated district ranking in the 75th percentile statewide.
Cisco J H stands out for its exceptional advanced math program, with 100% of 8th graders proficient in Algebra I—nearly double the state average of 54%. The school also consistently excels in 8th Grade Social Studies, where 46% of students are proficient versus the state's 32%, and in 7th Grade Reading, with 66% proficiency compared to the state's 54%. However, performance in 6th and 7th grade math lags behind state averages, with only 31% of 6th graders proficient in math versus the state's 39%. The school maintains a 0% dropout rate and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.8:1, which supports individualized attention. Despite nearly half of students (49%) being economically disadvantaged, the school achieves above-average results in reading, social studies, and advanced math.
Year-over-year scores show notable volatility, such as a 15-point drop in 6th Grade Reading from 70% to 55% between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, likely due to the small student body where individual cohorts heavily influence statistics. The school's overall ranking has slipped from the 83rd percentile in 2024-2025 to the 75th percentile in 2025-2026, though it retains a 4-star rating. The perfect Algebra I score may reflect a small group of high-achieving students, while standard 8th-grade math proficiency (55%) still exceeds the state average (47%). This suggests the school effectively accelerates top math students but could strengthen foundational math skills in earlier grades.
