Summary:
The Cayuga Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates three schools: Cayuga Elementary, Cayuga High School, and Cayuga Middle. The district demonstrates a mix of high-performing and potentially struggling schools, with standout performance at the high school and middle school levels.
Cayuga High School consistently ranks among the top high schools in Texas, with a 100% graduation rate and a low dropout rate of 0.3%. The school outperforms the state average on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, particularly in Algebra I, Biology, and English I/II Reading. Similarly, Cayuga Middle School is ranked among the top middle schools in Texas and demonstrates strong student performance on STAAR assessments, often exceeding the state averages.
In contrast, Cayuga Elementary struggles with reading proficiency, with 3rd-5th grade STAAR Reading scores below the state average. The school also has the highest percentage of free/reduced-price lunch recipients at 56.44%, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. However, the district appears to allocate resources effectively, with higher per-student spending at the high school level and lower student-teacher ratios across all schools.
