Summary:
The 78108 zip code in Cibolo, TX, is served by 8 public schools (4 elementary, 3 middle, and 1 high school) enrolling over 8,100 students, primarily within the Schertz-Cibolo-U City Independent School District (Isd) and one charter school from Legacy Traditional Schools - Texas.
The clear standout is Byron P Steele II High School, the only 4-star school in the area, boasting a 95.6% graduation rate and test scores well above state averages. For rapid improvement, Cibolo Valley Elementary has surged from the 25th to the 49th percentile in just two years. In contrast, Watts Elementary has declined from the 16th to the 36th percentile over the same period. The charter school, Legacy Traditional School - Cibolo, offers a unique PK-8 model with the highest per-student spending ($15,592) and excels in 8th-grade reading (80% proficient), but struggles significantly in elementary math. A notable strength is math acceleration at Dobie J H, where 86.57% of students pass the Algebra I EOC exam, far exceeding the state average of 47%.
A key takeaway is the "middle school math paradox": while elementary math is a consistent weakness across all schools, middle schools like Barbara Jordan Intermediate and Elaine S Schlather Intermediate post 6th-grade math scores well above the state average. However, science remains a universal challenge, with 5th-grade proficiency at these same intermediates falling below the state average. Overall, the high school serves as a strong community anchor, while the elementary landscape shows divergent trends that parents should investigate closely.
