Summary

Cisco Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the small town of Cisco, Texas, serving 428 students within the Cisco Independent School District (Isd).

This school has experienced a dramatic and sustained decline over the past five years, dropping from the 85th percentile statewide in 2020-2021 to the 34th percentile in 2025-2026. The most pressing concern is a severe and worsening performance gap in mathematics, where proficiency rates are well below state averages across all grades—most notably in 5th grade, where only 26% of students met the standard compared to 47% statewide. This math crisis affects every student group, including the Gifted and Talented program, which has plummeted from the 72nd percentile to the 26th percentile. On a more positive note, reading scores have shown relative stability and remain a comparative strength, with proficiency rates much closer to state averages. The school's challenges are systemic, impacting all subgroups uniformly, with White students ranking in the 12th percentile, Special Education students in the 17th, and low socio-economic status students in the 19th.

Compared to nearby Siebert Elementary in the Eastland Independent School District (Isd), which serves a similar population but saw a more abrupt recent drop, Cisco’s decline is a long-term, consistent trend suggesting deeper systemic issues. In contrast, Rising Star Elementary in the Rising Star Independent School District (Isd) is a much smaller school with higher poverty rates and ranks in the bottom 11% of the state, meaning Cisco still outperforms it in most subjects. Urgent intervention, particularly in math instruction and support for high-achieving students, is clearly needed to reverse this trend.
