Summary:
The 75104 zip code area of Cedar Hill, Texas is home to 13 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance, with Newman International At Cedar Hill and Cedar Hill Collegiate High School standing out as exceptional performers, while the rest of the district struggles to meet state proficiency levels.
Newman International At Cedar Hill, a public charter school serving grades PK-12, boasts an impressive 98.1% four-year graduation rate and a very low 0.3% dropout rate. It also outperforms the Cedar Hill Independent School District (Isd) and the state averages on many STAAR test proficiency metrics, particularly in reading. Cedar Hill Collegiate High School, a public high school, is also a standout, ranking 25th out of 1,987 Texas high schools in the 2023-2024 school year and maintaining exceptional STAAR EOC test scores.
The data also reveals high rates of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch percentages ranging from 42.27% to 86.7% across the schools. This suggests that the schools in the district may face significant challenges in addressing the needs of their economically disadvantaged student populations. The variation in spending per student, from $7,525 at Cedar Hill Collegiate High School to $12,462 at Lakeridge Elementary, raises questions about the equity of resource allocation within the district.
