Summary

Cisco High School is a small, high-performing public high school in Cisco, TX, serving 225 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Cisco Independent School District (Isd).

Cisco High School stands out as a top-tier school in the region, ranking in the 94th percentile statewide—far ahead of nearby schools like Eastland High School (51st percentile), Rising Star High School (58th percentile), and Cross Plains High School (46th percentile). Its academic proficiency on STAAR EOC tests is consistently 20-40 percentage points higher than its nearest competitor, Eastland, and often double the state average. For example, 91% of Cisco students scored proficient in Biology compared to 68% at Eastland and 71% statewide. The school also boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate for five consecutive years, a feat achieved with a larger student body than Rising Star, which also has perfect rates. With a low student-teacher ratio of 9:1, Cisco provides personalized instruction that drives these exceptional results.

What truly sets Cisco apart is its ability to serve all students at an exceptionally high level. Students from low socioeconomic backgrounds rank in the 95th percentile, while gifted and talented students rank in the 99th percentile, showing the school closes achievement gaps and enriches high achievers alike. Special education students also rank in the 95th percentile, reflecting effective support systems. The district’s higher per-student spending ($16,947) compared to neighbors like Eastland ($11,927) appears to fuel these outcomes. The Cisco Learning Center, a separate alternative school with only 12 students, serves a different at-risk population, allowing Cisco High School to maintain its high standards and perfect graduation rate. This combination of consistent excellence, equitable success across subgroups, and targeted investment makes Cisco a model of rural educational achievement.
