Summary

Cross Oaks Elementary is a public elementary school located in Cross Roads, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 642 students. The school is part of the Denton Independent School District, which is ranked 530 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cross Oaks Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 3118 and 3694 out of around 4,600 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates projected to be around 40-50% lower than the district and state averages in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic, White, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who rank in the bottom 25% of their respective subgroups statewide.

Despite having lower student-teacher ratios and higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools like Savannah Elementary, Catherine Bell Elementary, and Paloma Creek Elementary, Cross Oaks Elementary is not able to translate these resources into improved academic performance. The school's leadership and the Denton Independent School District should closely examine the factors contributing to the school's poor performance and implement targeted interventions to address the academic needs of its diverse student population.
