Cleveland Independent School District (Isd)

The Cleveland Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district as a whole is ranked 938 out of 968 districts in Texas and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in student performance.

While the district faces systemic challenges, a few schools stand out. Northside Elementary has the highest percentage of white students and the highest proficiency rates in reading and math among the elementary schools, though still below state averages. Southside Elementary and Cottonwood Elementary also outperform the district and state in 5th grade reading and math proficiency, respectively. At the middle school level, Cleveland Middle stands out for its high Algebra I proficiency rate, significantly exceeding the district and state averages.

The Frederick A Douglass Learning Academy, an alternative high school, has a very high 4-year graduation rate of 96.7%, compared to 92.4% at Cleveland High School. This suggests the alternative school may be effectively serving a population of students who struggle in the traditional high school setting. However, the district's high per-student spending at the alternative school ($76,057) compared to the other schools ($8,530 to $13,232) indicates a significant investment in supporting the needs of this student population.
