Summary

Crossroads Elementary is a K-6 school in Gulfport, MS, serving 547 students in the Harrison County School District. Nearly all students (99%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting a high-poverty community. The school currently ranks in the 42nd percentile among Mississippi elementary schools with a 2-star rating, though it sits within a district that overall earns 4 stars.

Despite the middling overall rating, Crossroads has genuine bright spots. Sixth-grade math is a clear standout: 74.1% of 6th graders scored proficient, the highest rate among all nearby K-6 schools in the district and well above the state average of 52.7%. Fifth-grade science is also strong at 80% proficient. Crossroads also outperforms nearby North Gulfport Elementary/Middle by wide margins in 6th-grade math (74.1% vs. 31.0%) and 5th-grade science (80% vs. 35.7%), and edges out Bel-Aire Elementary in several subjects.

The biggest concerns are early-grade math and attendance. Only 28.8% of 3rd graders and 22.2% of 5th graders are proficient in math, far below district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism is high at 29.7%, and the student-to-teacher ratio has climbed to 16.5. The comparison to Three Rivers Elementary is instructive: both schools have nearly identical poverty rates, but Three Rivers has much lower absenteeism (20.1%), smaller class sizes, and significantly higher test scores in 3rd-grade math (55.9% vs. 28.8%) and 5th-grade math (50.0% vs. 22.2%). For parents, this suggests attendance and math foundations are the key areas to watch at Crossroads.
