Summary:
Zip code 78108 in Cibolo, Texas, is home to four elementary schools serving grades PK-4 or PK-8, offering families a mix of traditional public schools within the Schertz-Cibolo-U City Independent School District (Isd) and a charter option through Legacy Traditional Schools - Texas.
Legacy Traditional School - Cibolo stands out as the highest-performing school overall, with a strong upward trend in state ranking and exceptional test scores in upper grades, particularly in 8th grade Reading (80% proficient) and 7th grade Math (43.4% proficient). However, it has the highest student-teacher ratio (19.9:1) and highest spending per student ($15,592), while its early-grade Reading scores (38.89% in 3rd grade) lag behind the district schools. Among the SCUC ISD schools, Cibolo Valley Elementary leads with the highest state ranking (49th percentile) and the lowest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (31.47%), despite spending the least per student ($8,311). In contrast, Watts Elementary is the lowest-performing school, with a 36th percentile ranking and consistently low Math scores—only 28.26% of 3rd graders were proficient in Math compared to the state average of 44.33%. Wiederstein Elementary falls in the middle on most metrics, with a 42nd percentile ranking and moderate proficiency rates.
A key takeaway is that Math proficiency is a universal challenge across all four schools, with scores consistently lower than Reading in every grade. Additionally, spending per student does not directly predict performance—Cibolo Valley achieves the highest district ranking with the lowest spending, while Watts spends more but ranks lowest. For parents, Legacy offers the strongest upper-grade academics and a unique PK-8 structure, while Cibolo Valley provides a strong foundation in early grades with smaller class sizes (13.7:1). Watts may require extra attention to Math support, and Wiederstein offers a balanced middle-ground option within the district.
