Summary:
Hitchcock Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one middle school, Crosby Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The data reveals that Crosby Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with below-average performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests compared to district and state averages.
Crosby Middle's STAAR proficiency rates are particularly low in Mathematics, ranging from 9.73% to 25.86% proficient or better, compared to state averages of 31.12% to 44.81%. In Reading, the school's proficiency rates range from 34.78% to 50.38%, while the state averages are 51.69% to 56.39%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 77.3%, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact academic performance.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $12,407 for the 2020-2021 school year, the data suggests that the resources may not be sufficient to address the persistent performance challenges at Crosby Middle. The school's student-teacher ratio of 15.9 is also slightly higher than the typical recommended range, which may be a contributing factor to the academic struggles.
