Summary

Cunningham School is an elementary school in Wichita Falls, TX, serving 437 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Wichita Falls Independent School District (Isd).

Cunningham School stands out for its exceptional Gifted and Talented program, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide—a dramatic improvement from just a few years ago. The school also offers a notably low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.5:1, the best among nearby schools like Fain Elementary (18:1) and Scotland Park Elementary (17.8:1), which means your child is likely to receive more individualized attention. While the school's overall state ranking is in the 35th percentile, it is on a strong upward trajectory from a low point just a few years ago, outperforming struggling peers like Southern Hills Elementary and Zundelowitz Elementary. However, it still trails high-performing schools like Fowler Elementary and West Foundation Elementary, which serve more affluent populations.

Academically, Cunningham shows some bright spots but also inconsistency. For example, 4th graders recently achieved a 61.54% proficiency rate in Math, well above the district and state averages, while 3rd graders in the same subject scored much lower. Science is a hidden strength, with 5th graders consistently outperforming both the district and state. The school's main challenge is translating the success of its Gifted program to other student groups, as performance for White and Special Education students lags behind. Overall, Cunningham is a school in positive transition, with a clear strength in its gifted program and a valuable low student-to-teacher ratio, making it a solid option for families seeking a school that is improving and offers strong support for advanced learners.
