Summary:
The Cushing School is the sole high school in the Cushing Independent School District (Isd) in Texas. Despite serving a relatively low-income student population, with 70.41% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school boasts an impressive 97.4% 4-year graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, significantly exceeding state averages.
Academically, Cushing School's performance is mixed compared to state standards. While the school excels in End-of-Course (EOC) exams, with scores above the state average in Algebra I, Biology, English I and II, and U.S. History, its STAAR test scores are more varied. Cushing School scores below the state average in 6th and 7th grade reading, as well as across all grade levels in math. However, the school performs above the state average in 8th grade reading and science.
Cushing School's above-average spending of $11,308 per student and lower student-teacher ratio of 11.1 may contribute to its strong graduation and dropout rates, as well as its mixed academic performance. While the school has areas of excellence, there are also opportunities for improvement, particularly in the weaker STAAR test subjects. Overall, Cushing School appears to be a relatively strong performer within the Cushing ISD, providing a solid educational foundation for its students.
