Elementary Schools in Cayuga Independent School District (Isd)

The Cayuga Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, Cayuga Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 476th out of 4,581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 2,475th out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, its academic performance is a mix of strengths and weaknesses.

Cayuga Elementary outperforms the state average in some subjects and grade levels, such as 3rd-grade reading proficiency at 61.9% compared to the state's 48.85%. However, the school underperforms in other areas, like 4th-grade reading proficiency at 33.33% versus the state's 50.66%, and mathematics across all tested grade levels. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 35% is higher than the state's 26.29%, but its overall STAAR test performance is uneven.

Cayuga Elementary serves a predominantly white student population, with 81.71% of students identifying as white, and a relatively low percentage of minority students. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 54.86%, suggesting a disadvantaged student population. Despite these challenges, the school spends $14,203 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 14.3, slightly lower than the state average. Further investigation is needed to understand how these resources are being utilized and to identify strategies for improving the school's overall academic performance.
