Summary

Cumberland High School is a small public high school in Tyler, TX, serving 503 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Cumberland Academy district, which holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 54th percentile statewide. The school stands out for its strong graduation rate (consistently above 95%) and low dropout rate, while spending significantly less per student ($7,589) than nearby schools like Chapel Hill High School ($11,542) and Tyler Legacy High School ($10,047).

Cumberland excels in U.S. History, with 76.7% of students proficient in 2025-2026, outperforming the state average of 70.17% and Tyler High School (52.6%), though it trails top performers like Whitehouse High School (86.57%). A notable pattern emerges in English: the school struggles with English I Reading (46.05% proficient, below the state average of 55.43%) but excels in English II Reading (65.22% proficient, above the state average of 59.88%), creating a 19-point gap that is the largest among nearby schools. Algebra I remains a persistent challenge, with only 41.94% proficient compared to the state average of 54.03%, though this is better than Chapel Hill High School (24.77%).

The school shows remarkable but inconsistent support for specific student groups. It achieved a dramatic one-year spike in serving Special Education students, jumping from the 53rd to the 89th percentile in 2024-2025, though it dropped back to the 43rd percentile the following year. Similarly, Multi-racial students ranked in the 91st percentile (5 stars) in 2025-2026, a huge improvement from the 31st percentile two years prior. This volatility suggests success may depend on specific cohorts rather than stable systems. Overall, Cumberland positions itself as a solid mid-range option in the Tyler area, outperforming larger urban schools like Tyler High School but falling short of suburban powerhouses like Bullard High School and Whitehouse High School, while facing competition from the high-performing Tyler ISD Early College High School (5 stars, 98th percentile).
