Summary:
The Cisco Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single middle school, Cisco J H, which serves 170 students in grades 6 through 8 and has consistently earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years, placing it in the 75th percentile of Texas middle schools.
Cisco J H stands out for its exceptional advanced math program, with 100% of 8th graders achieving proficiency on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam in the 2025-2026 school year—a full 46 percentage points above the state average. The school also boasts a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.8:1, a 0% dropout rate, and strong reading scores that improve as students progress, from 54.84% proficiency in 6th grade to 68.25% in 8th grade. However, the school has a notable weakness in 6th-grade math, where only 30.65% of students are proficient, falling below the state average of 38.57%. This suggests a potential transition issue for incoming middle schoolers that the school may need to address.
Overall, Cisco J H is a high-performing school with stable leadership and a supportive environment, as evidenced by its consistent rankings and low dropout rate. Its primary challenge is improving 6th-grade math outcomes to ensure all students start their middle school years on strong footing. With 48.82% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch and per-student spending of $10,115, the school demonstrates that it can achieve strong results across multiple subjects, particularly in advanced math and reading, making it a solid choice for families in the district.
