Summary

Cedar Hill Collegiate Academy is a public middle school in Cedar Hill, TX, serving 345 students in grades 6-8, and it stands out as a high-performing outlier within the Cedar Hill Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the bottom third of Texas districts.

This school dramatically outperforms its district peers in core academics. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, 90% of 6th graders were proficient in Reading, compared to just 37.8% at Bessie Coleman Middle and W S Permenter Middle. In 6th Grade Math, the school scored 60.9% proficient, while Bessie Coleman scored 20.7% and Permenter scored only 8.0%. The school also excels in 8th Grade Science (63.6% proficient) and Social Studies (52.7% proficient), nearly doubling the district averages. Notably, the school is exceptionally effective with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 97th percentile statewide for this group. It also offers high school credit courses like Algebra I and English I, with 100% of 8th graders proficient in English I Reading. The school achieves these results with lower spending per student ($8,508) compared to its district peers, such as Bessie Coleman ($9,198) and Permenter ($9,232), and even outperforms the nearby high-performing Danny Jones Middle in Mansfield Independent School District (Isd) in 7th Grade Reading (79.7% vs. 73.0%).

However, the school has a notable weakness: its Gifted and Talented (GT) program ranks in the 28th percentile statewide, suggesting the standard curriculum may not adequately challenge its highest-achieving students. Additionally, while the school provides broad access to Algebra I, its proficiency rate (46-48%) is below the state average (54%), indicating a trade-off between access and mastery. Overall, Cedar Hill Collegiate Academy is a highly efficient school that delivers exceptional results for most students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, but has room to improve its advanced programming.
