Summary:
The Crosby Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 624 out of 961 school districts in Texas and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Within the district, a few schools stand out. Newport Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the district and state, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong test scores in reading and math. Crosby High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.9% and a low dropout rate of 0.6%, despite a 2-star rating. The alternative high schools, Crosby Crossroads Academy and Highpoint School East (Crosby), maintain high graduation rates and low dropout rates, but struggle with low test scores.
The district faces challenges, with many schools serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, as evidenced by the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients. This may contribute to the lower academic performance seen across the district, with significant disparities between the top-performing and lower-performing schools. Addressing the unique needs of the alternative schools and targeting interventions to support the economically disadvantaged students could be crucial in driving improvement throughout the Crosby ISD.
