Summary:
The Little Cypress-Mauriceville Consolidated Independent School District serves approximately 3,320 students across six campuses in Orange, Texas, including three elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school, with the district overall ranking in the 33rd percentile statewide and earning a 2-star rating.
Among the schools, Mauriceville Middle stands out as the top performer, earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 52nd percentile—a significant improvement from two years prior—while consistently outperforming the district in reading and math. In contrast, Little Cypress J.H. struggles, particularly in 7th-grade math with only 16% proficiency versus the state average of 29%. Little Cypress Intermediate shows dramatic volatility, dropping from the 48th to the 11th percentile in one year. At the high school level, Lit Cypr-Mrceville High School boasts a 97% graduation rate and strong English scores, but struggles in Algebra I (34% proficient) and U.S. History. Elementary schools like Little Cypress Elementary and Mauriceville Elementary all fall below state averages in reading and math, with 4th-grade math at Mauriceville Elementary at just 17% proficiency.
A key paradox emerges in middle school math: while 7th-grade proficiency is critically low (16-17%), 8th graders taking advanced Algebra I achieve over 82% proficiency, highlighting a stark divide between general and advanced tracks. Per-student spending varies widely, from $8,789 at Little Cypress Elementary to $11,082 at Little Cypress Intermediate. Despite high economic disadvantage rates (51-68%), Mauriceville Middle’s broad-based improvement suggests effective strategies that could be replicated, though weak elementary foundations threaten the district’s long-term health.
