Summary

Cumberland High School is a public charter high school located in Tyler, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 551 students. The school is part of the Cumberland Academy District, which is ranked 379 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cumberland High School has maintained a relatively high 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 92.4% in 2020-2021 to 96.9% in 2021-2022, which is on par with or slightly higher than the nearby schools. The school has also seen a steady decline in dropout rates, from 1.0% in 2020-2021 to 0.2% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the dropout rates of most nearby schools. However, the school's performance on STAAR EOC exams is mixed compared to the surrounding schools and the state average, with stronger performance in subjects like Biology and U.S. History, but lagging behind in Algebra I and English I/II Reading.

Cumberland High School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and White students tending to perform better than African American and Hispanic students. The school also struggles with the performance of English Language Learners and Special Education students. Additionally, Cumberland High School has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 37.93% in 2022-2023 to 53.36% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the rates of most nearby schools, such as Bullard High School and Whitehouse High School. While the school's ranking has declined over the past few years, its relatively high graduation and low dropout rates suggest that there is potential for improvement with targeted interventions and support, particularly in addressing the performance disparities among different student subgroups.
