Cuero Independent School District (Isd)

The Cuero Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic representation and a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Cuero High School stands out as a strong performer, with a high 4-year graduation rate of 98.6% and a low dropout rate of 0.1%. The school also excels in STAAR EOC exams, particularly in Biology and U.S. History. In contrast, the district's elementary schools show more varied results, with Hunt Elementary outperforming the state average in 3rd grade reading and 5th grade science, while J.C. French Elementary lacks statewide ranking data, indicating potential areas for improvement.

The Cuero J.H. middle school also faces challenges, with relatively low proficiency rates in several STAAR subjects, particularly in 6th and 7th grade mathematics, compared to state averages. The district's high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the elementary schools, suggest the need to examine ways to support economically disadvantaged students and ensure equitable access to resources and opportunities across all schools.
