Summary

Crosstimbers Academy in Weatherford, TX, is a small public high school serving 130 students in grades 9-12, where about 42% of students are economically disadvantaged. This school stands out for its exceptional commitment to keeping students on track, boasting a 96.6% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year—a stark contrast to nearby Stars Accelerated High School, which has an 82.1% graduation rate and a 7.1% dropout rate. While Crosstimbers has historically ranked in the bottom 25% of Texas high schools, the most recent data shows a significant upward trend, with the school achieving its highest state ranking in years at the 31st percentile and earning 2 stars for the first time.

The school has shown remarkable academic improvement from the 2024-2025 school year to the 2025-2026 school year. Biology proficiency jumped from 31.43% to 73.08%, now exceeding the state average, while English I Reading proficiency more than doubled from 20.69% to 52.94%, nearly reaching the state average. This rate of improvement is not seen in nearby high-performing schools like Brock High School or Peaster High School, which are already at high proficiency levels. Crosstimbers also excels in serving special education students, ranking in the 67th percentile for this subgroup—a dramatic improvement from the 17th percentile just two years prior.

What makes Crosstimbers unique is its "turnaround" trajectory, unlike the stable performance of Weatherford High School or the consistent excellence of Aledo High School. The school appears to be developing a successful formula for students who may have struggled in larger traditional settings, as evidenced by its 0% dropout rate and recent surge in performance for economically disadvantaged students (from the 7th percentile to the 45th percentile). Compared to similar alternative schools like Rise Academy (which has 0% proficiency in Algebra I and English I) or Lake Granbury Academy (ranking in the bottom 1% of the state), Crosstimbers offers a more stable and supportive environment with a clear path of improvement.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Tuesday, June 11, 2013

The one star review of CTA was written by a disgruntled former employee, whom I know personally has an ax to grind. He was one of those fired during his alleged "gutting" of the school. This is not the forum for details, however I will say as a 20 year veteran educator his firing was absolutely justified. Close Quote

Thursday, June 28, 2012

Unfortunately, the school Crosstimbers Academy was has been effectively gutted. The majority of the founding staff, including the principal, either retired or resigned at the prompting of the CEO. Ultimately, the fun, out-of-the-box scholastic experience that CTA provided for the last six years is being replaced by a desire for money: to cram more and more students into classes, and to move towards a diploma-mill atmosphere. None of the teachers hired to replace the founding staff have ever taught, presumably the better for the CEO, who literally disapproved and wanted the resignations of staff who were "too innovative". Low paid, first-year teachers, a CEO indifferent to education and the needs of students, and the collapse of the unique atmosphere it had combine to make Crosstimbers Academy a school of choice that a parent should choose NOT to pick.
