Summary:
The city of Crowley, Texas is home to 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school. The schools in this Crowley Independent School District (ISD) serve a diverse student population with significant African American and Hispanic representation, as well as a high percentage of students from low-income families.

In contrast, Deer Creek Elementary has the highest statewide ranking among Crowley's elementary schools, with 54% of 5th graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading. The middle schools show significant variation, with Richard Allie Middle and Summer Creek Middle performing better than H.F. Stevens Middle, which has the lowest student-teacher ratio but also the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients.
Overall, the Crowley ISD schools face challenges related to equity and socioeconomic status, with the highest-need schools tending to have the lowest academic performance. Addressing these disparities could be key to improving educational outcomes for all students in the district.
