Cleveland Independent School District (Isd)

The Cleveland Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district as a whole is ranked 937 out of 961 districts in Texas and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in student performance and outcomes.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Cottonwood Elementary has the highest test scores across several subjects and grade levels, outperforming both the district and state averages. For example, in 5th grade reading, 40.97% of Cottonwood students were proficient or better, compared to the district average of 35.28% and the state average of 57.83%. Eastside Elementary also has relatively strong test scores, exceeding the district in many areas, such as 33.82% proficiency in 3rd grade reading compared to 26.81% for the district.

While the overall performance of the district is below average, Cleveland High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 93.3% and a low dropout rate of 1.8%. However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including wide disparities in student proficiency levels, very high poverty rates, and a wide range in per-student spending, suggesting the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and strategies to improve outcomes across all schools in the Cleveland Independent School District.
