Summary

Cisco J H in Cisco, TX, is a small middle school serving 170 students in grades 6 through 8 within the high-performing Cisco Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 75th percentile statewide.

Cisco J H consistently outperforms nearby Eastland Middle in core academic subjects. For example, 8th-grade reading proficiency at Cisco J H is 68.25% compared to Eastland’s 57.89%, and 8th-grade social studies proficiency is dramatically higher at 46.03% versus 31.58%. The school also excels in mathematics, with 55.38% of 8th graders proficient, well above Eastland’s 39.22%. A standout feature is the Algebra I program: 100% of Cisco J H students taking the exam scored proficient, and the district average of 75.41% far exceeds Eastland ISD’s 41.67%, indicating a strong advanced math pipeline. The school has maintained a 0.0% dropout rate for five years, supported by a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.8:1 and per-student spending of $10,115, higher than Eastland’s $9,020.

Cisco J H shows exceptional effectiveness with specific student groups, ranking in the 92nd percentile for low-socioeconomic status students and the 92nd percentile for Gifted and Talented students. However, the school faces a critical challenge with its Special Education population, which ranked in the 3rd percentile in 2024-2025, a sharp decline from the 56th percentile two years prior. Additionally, effectiveness with White students dropped to the 50th percentile in 2025-2026, down from the 70th percentile the previous year. Despite these areas needing attention, the school’s consistent 4-star rating from Schooldigger for seven of the last eight years and strong reading scores across all grades make it a reliable choice for families seeking a well-resourced, academically focused middle school.
