Summary

Little Cypress Intermediate in Orange, TX, serves 344 students in grades 4 and 5 and is part of the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Consolidated Independent School District.

This school is currently facing significant academic challenges. After a brief period of improvement, its state ranking has dropped sharply to its lowest point in a decade, landing in the 11th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. This decline is particularly concerning because it affects all student groups, with every subgroup scoring in the bottom 25th percentile or lower. The school's performance in core subjects has also been inconsistent; for example, 5th-grade Reading proficiency fell from a strong 63.86% in 2024-2025 to just 42.7% the following year. This volatility suggests a lack of a stable, effective instructional program. Interestingly, the school maintains a very favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.7:1 and spends more per student ($11,082) than many higher-performing nearby schools, such as Bridge City Intermediate ($7,444) and Orangefield Elementary ($8,344). This indicates that the school's struggles are not due to a lack of resources or overcrowding, but likely stem from other factors like curriculum or instructional quality.

When compared to neighboring districts, the gap is stark. Orangefield ISD (ranked 73rd percentile) and Bridge City ISD (ranked 59th percentile) consistently outperform the LCM district. For instance, in 2025-2026, 4th-grade Math proficiency at Orangefield Elementary was 68.94% compared to Little Cypress Intermediate's 29.19%. Even a nearby charter school, Tekoa Academy of Accelerated Studies - Orange, which serves a high-poverty population, achieved exceptional Math scores (81.82% proficient in 5th grade), showing that strong results are possible. The most urgent need for Little Cypress Intermediate is a comprehensive review of its instructional strategies to understand why its investments are not translating into academic success for its students.
