Summary

Cedar Creek High School is a large public high school in Cedar Creek, TX, serving 2,144 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Bastrop Independent School District (Isd), where a significant majority of students (68.2%) are economically disadvantaged.

The most striking feature of Cedar Creek High School is the contrast between its exceptionally high graduation rate and its low academic proficiency. While the school consistently graduates over 96% of its students—matching the rate of nearby Bastrop High School (97.9%)—its test scores are among the lowest in the region. For instance, only 8% of students were proficient in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 54%. This suggests the school excels at keeping students on track to graduate but faces significant challenges in bringing them to grade-level mastery in core subjects, a common hurdle for schools serving high-poverty communities. In contrast, Bastrop High, which has a lower rate of economic disadvantage (49%), outperforms Cedar Creek in every subject, highlighting the impact of poverty on academic outcomes.

Despite these overall struggles, Cedar Creek shows remarkable strengths with specific student groups. The school recently achieved a 4-star rating for African American students, ranking in the 72nd percentile—a dramatic improvement from just two years prior. This success is not mirrored at nearby schools, suggesting targeted interventions are working. Additionally, the school has historically excelled with migrant students, earning 4 and 5-star ratings in recent years. For parents, this means that while the school’s overall academic performance is low, it offers strong support for student persistence and has demonstrated an ability to create effective learning environments for specific populations, making it a school of contrasts worth exploring further.
