Summary:
The Cuero Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single high school, Cuero High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 and has a total enrollment of 647 students. This school stands out for its exceptionally high graduation rate of 98.6% and an extremely low dropout rate of just 0.1%, indicating a strong commitment to ensuring students complete their education. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.3:1 and a per-student spending of $13,583, the school invests significant resources into its students, though academic performance presents a mixed picture.
Academically, Cuero High School shows clear strengths in Biology and English I Reading, consistently meeting or exceeding state averages. For instance, in the 2025-2026 school year, 71.83% of students were proficient in Biology compared to the state's 70.51%, and English I Reading proficiency was 55.69% versus the state's 55.43%. However, the school struggles significantly in Algebra I, where only 45.95% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, well below the state average of 54.03%. U.S. History also presents a challenge, with proficiency dropping from 75% in 2024-2025 to 56.82% in 2025-2026, far below the state's 70.17%.
Despite its strong graduation outcomes, the school's overall state ranking has declined from the 63rd percentile (3 stars) in 2024-2025 to the 50th percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026, ranking 1009 out of 2009 high schools in Texas. This paradox suggests that while the school excels at keeping students on track to graduate, its academic performance in key subjects like math and history is dragging down its ranking. For parents, this means Cuero High School offers a supportive environment with excellent graduation rates, but may require additional focus on math and history instruction to improve overall academic outcomes.
