Summary:
The Cumby Collegiate Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single middle school, Cumby Collegiate Middle, which serves grades 3 through 7 with 182 students in Cumby, TX. This school is the sole focus of analysis, and its performance is measured against state averages rather than other local schools.
Cumby Collegiate Middle shows a strong upward trend in its state ranking, climbing from the 21st percentile (1 star) in 2023-2024 to the 45th percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026—a 24-percentile-point improvement. This progress is driven by notable gains in Reading, particularly in 3rd grade (30.3% to 51.52% proficiency) and 7th grade (37.84% to 51.72% proficiency). However, the school faces a severe challenge in Mathematics, especially in 7th grade, where only 6.67% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—nearly eight times lower than the 7th-grade Reading score. The 4th grade also consistently struggles, with the lowest or near-lowest scores in both subjects across the data. The school maintains a 0% dropout rate and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.9, with $10,383 spent per student, yet these resources have not translated into above-average math performance.
Key takeaways for parents include the school's clear improvement in Reading, which suggests recent interventions are working, but a critical need to address the math crisis, particularly in 7th grade. The persistent "4th grade slump" indicates a transition issue between grades that requires attention. While the school's resources are adequate, the focus should be on how they are allocated, especially for math instruction. Overall, Cumby Collegiate Middle is a school on the rise, but with a significant academic gap between subjects that parents should monitor closely.
