Summary:
The Cleveland Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools face significant challenges, with high percentages of students from low-income families and overall low academic performance compared to state averages.
Among the standout schools, Southside Elementary and Cottonwood Elementary perform relatively well, with higher proficiency rates in reading and math across multiple grade levels. Southside Elementary has the highest 5th-grade reading proficiency rate at 40.13%, significantly above the district and state averages, while Cottonwood Elementary excels in 5th-grade math with a 41.67% proficiency rate. Both schools also maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios.
In contrast, Northside Elementary, Eastside Elementary, and Santa Fe Elementary struggle with low proficiency rates in reading, math, and science compared to the state averages. The data suggests that factors beyond just demographics and socioeconomic status may be contributing to these disparities in academic performance, and understanding the factors that contribute to the success of the higher-performing schools could provide insights for improving the lower-performing schools.
