Summary

Drew Elementary is a public elementary school located in Crosby, Texas, serving 626 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Crosby Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 624 out of 961 school districts in the state.

While Drew Elementary's student performance on STAAR tests is generally lower than the Crosby ISD and Texas state averages, the school performs relatively better for Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students compared to other subgroups. However, the school's performance for White students and Special Education students is significantly lower, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. Additionally, Drew Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78.65% to 86.15% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than nearby Newport Elementary (59.17%) and Crosby Elementary (60.57%).

The analysis of Drew Elementary's data reveals several areas of concern, including a declining statewide ranking, inconsistent performance across grades and subjects, and underperformance compared to other elementary schools within the Crosby ISD. These challenges may be attributed to the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, which research has shown can contribute to additional barriers to academic success. The school's higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
