What stands out about Little Cypress-mauriceville CISD

  • It ranks in the bottom 5% nationally for estimated teacher pay, above only 3% of districts.
  • Estimated teacher pay here moved -3.9% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Texas's statewide +10.1% by 14.0 points, a growth rate faster than 11% of the 1,015 Texas districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
