Cayuga EL

Cayuga El is a public elementary school in Cayuga, Texas, serving 264 students in grades PK through 5. With a student-teacher ratio of 13.9:1, classes stay small enough for teachers to work closely with every student. The school earns a composite score of 9.6 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating — driven by a 9.8 in academics and a 9.6 in growth.
