Summary:
The city of Cushing, Texas is home to two schools: Cushing School, a high school serving grades 6-12, and Cushing Elementary, serving grades PK-5. These schools, part of the Cushing Independent School District (Isd), demonstrate a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement.
Cushing School stands out for its exceptional 97.4% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average. The school also outperforms the state on several STAAR tests, particularly in subjects like Biology, English I and II Reading, and Algebra I. In contrast, Cushing Elementary has a more mixed academic performance, with some grades and subjects exceeding the state average while others fall behind.
While both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, there is a notable difference in per-student spending, with Cushing School spending $11,308 per student compared to $8,447 per student at Cushing Elementary. Additionally, the student populations at both schools are predominantly White, suggesting a need to promote greater diversity and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Cushing Independent School District (Isd).
