Summary

Little Cypress J H in Orange, TX, serves 523 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Consolidated Independent School district, which ranks in the bottom third of Texas districts. The school has a mixed performance history, currently holding a 2-star rating and ranking in the 47th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year, a notable improvement from its recent low point in 2023-2024 when it ranked in the 26th percentile. With 56.4% of students receiving free or reduced lunch, the school has a moderate level of economic disadvantage.

The most striking differentiator for Little Cypress J H is its exceptional performance in advanced mathematics, specifically the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, where proficiency rates have consistently been above 82%—far exceeding state averages of around 47-54%. This creates a "tale of two math programs," as the school struggles significantly in standard grade-level math, with proficiency rates 7-13 percentage points below state averages in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math. The school also shows a strong and improving program for economically disadvantaged students, jumping from the 16th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 57th percentile in 2025-2026, and outstanding support for Gifted and Talented students, who rank in the 88th percentile. However, there is a troubling trend for White students, who have consistently ranked in the bottom 27th percentile or lower over the past three years.

Compared to nearby schools, Little Cypress J H significantly outperforms West Orange-Stark Middle, just 4.18 miles away, in nearly every subject—for example, 6th grade reading proficiency is 55.4% versus 28.0%. Within its own district, Mauriceville Middle has a slightly higher overall state ranking (52nd vs. 47th percentile) and generally outperforms Little Cypress in standard grade-level math and reading, but Little Cypress has a clear advantage in its advanced math program, with Algebra I proficiency at 91.2% compared to Mauriceville's 86.96% in 2024-2025. This creates an interesting dynamic where one school excels at acceleration and the other at consistency.
