Understanding the 6/10 Rating
SchoolDistrictFinder rates Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District 6 out of 10 — average among Texas public school districts. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in Texas’ STAAR grades 3–8 Reading & Math assessments (2023 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score.
