Cumberland Academy Upper Elementary

Cumberland Academy Upper Elementary sits in Tyler, a mid-sized East Texas city known for its rose industry, piney woods scenery, and tight-knit community feel. As a charter school, it draws families who are actively seeking out an alternative to their neighborhood school, but the academic numbers here suggest the fit isn't quite clicking yet — particularly in math and science, where scores land in the single digits percentile-wise. Families considering this school would do well to visit in person and ask pointed questions about curriculum and support structures, since Tyler has a range of schooling options worth exploring across the district.
