Summary

Drew Elementary is a K-5 school in Crosby, TX, serving 602 students within the Crosby Independent School District (Isd), where over 81% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch—a rate significantly higher than nearby schools like Newport Elementary (53.92%) and Crosby Elementary (54.84%). The school has a 1-star state ranking (27th percentile) and faces notable challenges in early-grade academics, particularly in 3rd-grade math, where only 30.71% of students were proficient compared to the district average of 39.61% and state average of 44.33%. However, Drew Elementary shows a unique "two-track" performance pattern: while 3rd and 4th grades struggle, 5th-grade students often outperform state averages, with 66.67% proficient in reading and 59.03% in math in the 2024-2025 school year.

This "5th-grade bounce" is a recent and promising trend, suggesting that students who stay at the school may eventually catch up, possibly due to effective interventions or a strong teaching team. Interestingly, 4th-grade math is a relative bright spot, with 45.39% proficiency in 2025-2026—higher than the district average of 44.86%. Yet, the school's spending of $10,452 per student is higher than higher-performing peers like Newport Elementary ($9,638) and Crosby Elementary ($9,326), indicating that funding alone isn't driving academic gains. A critical concern is the sharp decline in support for special education students, whose ranking dropped from the 51st percentile (3 stars) in 2022-2023 to the 22nd percentile (1 star) in 2025-2026, warranting immediate attention.

Compared to nearby schools, Drew Elementary is the lowest-performing in its district but faces challenges shared by other high-poverty schools in the region, such as Sheldon Elementary (31st percentile) and Highlands Elementary (13th percentile) in the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District. While the school serves White students (64th percentile) and English Language Learners (61st percentile) relatively well, it struggles with male students (26th percentile) and special education students. For parents, Drew Elementary offers a mixed picture: early grades need support, but the school shows potential for growth in later years, and its higher spending suggests resources are available—though not yet translating into consistent academic success.
