Summary:
Cushing Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one elementary school, Cushing Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance is mixed, with some areas of strength but also significant challenges, particularly in mathematics and science proficiency.
Cushing Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with a significant Hispanic minority. The school's 3rd-grade reading proficiency is higher than the state average, but its performance in 4th and 5th-grade reading, as well as mathematics and science, is lower than the state. The school also faces socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, Cushing Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which is generally considered a positive indicator for student learning.
The school's ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 4 out of 5 stars in 2022-2023 to 2 out of 5 stars in 2023-2024. This variability in performance suggests that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support, particularly in the areas of mathematics and science instruction, to help ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed. Overall, Cushing Independent School District appears to have room for improvement in its elementary school offerings.
