Summary:
Crockett Independent School District (Isd) is served by a single high school, Crockett High School, which educates 376 students in grades 9 through 12 in a community where over 80% of students are economically disadvantaged.
Crockett High School presents a story of contrasts. On one hand, it boasts a strong graduation rate of 96.6% and a low dropout rate of 1.2%, indicating the school is effective at keeping students on track to earn their diplomas. On the other hand, academic proficiency on state tests lags behind state averages in every core subject. The most significant challenge is English I Reading, where only 33.96% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 55.43%. The school’s state ranking has fluctuated, sitting at the 31st percentile in the most recent year, which suggests instability but a recent upward trend from a low of the 26th percentile.
A few bright spots and areas for investigation stand out. Biology proficiency saw a remarkable 21.82 percentage point increase in the latest year, reaching 68.49%—very close to the state average. This "Biology bounce" suggests a successful intervention that could be replicated in other subjects. Conversely, Algebra I scores have been highly volatile, swinging dramatically from year to year, which warrants a closer look at instructional consistency. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.7:1, the school has the potential for individualized attention, but this resource has not yet translated into above-average test scores, pointing to a need for targeted academic support rather than smaller class sizes alone.
