Summary:
The city of Cleburne, Texas is home to 12 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. While the overall performance of the Cleburne Independent School District (ISD) lags behind the state average, a few standout schools, such as Gerard Elementary, rank among the top 30% of elementary schools in Texas and consistently achieve high test scores, particularly in reading.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the schools in the Cleburne ISD. While some schools, like Gerard Elementary, are performing well above the state average, others, like Adams Elementary and Team School, are struggling significantly. The data suggests a correlation between the socioeconomic status of the student population and academic performance, with schools serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students tending to have lower test scores and other performance metrics.
One unique school in the district is Clearfork Academy South, a small public charter high school with a distinctive student demographic, including 80% white students. While its overall academic performance is below average, it may offer valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of alternative educational models within the Cleburne ISD. Addressing the disparities in the district will likely require a multifaceted approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and community engagement.
