Summary

Cumberland Academy Middle is a public charter middle school located in Tyler, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 369 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 Academy Middle faces significant academic challenges, with consistently lower proficiency rates compared to the state and its surrounding schools, particularly in core subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in 8th grade STAAR Reading (48.62%), Math (21.43%), Science (31.19%), and Social Studies (23.85%) are all significantly below the state averages. However, the school's performance on STAAR EOC Algebra I is an exception, with 100% proficiency in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 47.01%. The school's performance is especially concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and English Language Learner students, who rank very low among their peers in Texas.

Despite the school's lower academic performance, it maintains relatively low dropout rates and a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support. Interestingly, Bullard Intermediate and Bullard Middle, part of the Bullard Independent School District, consistently outperform Cumberland Academy Middle in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. Similarly, Whitehouse J.H., part of the Whitehouse Independent School District, also outperforms Cumberland Academy Middle in most academic areas, with significantly higher proficiency rates.
