Summary

Cross Oaks Elementary in Cross Roads, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 588 students as part of the Denton Independent School District (Isd), and it has experienced a significant and concerning decline in academic performance over the past decade, dropping from a 4-star school in the 78th percentile to a 1-star school in the 11th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year.

The most pressing issue at Cross Oaks is its critically low mathematics proficiency, with only 16.67% of 3rd graders proficient in math—far below the state average of 44.33% and the lowest among nearby schools like Dorothy Martinez Elementary (23.53%) and Oak Point Elementary (50%). This weakness extends across multiple subjects and student groups, as the school ranks in the bottom 10th percentile for Hispanic, White, English Language Learner, Low Socio-Economic Status, and Gifted and Talented students. Even compared to its closest neighbor, Providence Elementary—which has similar demographics and is also in Denton ISD—Cross Oaks consistently scores lower, such as in 3rd-grade reading (27.16% proficiency vs. Providence’s 40%). Notably, the school spends $9,992 per student, which is higher than several better-performing nearby schools like Savannah Elementary ($9,582) and James A Monaco ($9,032), suggesting the challenges are not due to a lack of funding but may relate to instructional strategies or resource allocation.

Despite the overall decline, there are a few bright spots. Cross Oaks has historically performed well for its At-Risk Students, ranking in the 65th percentile in 2021-2022, though recent data is unavailable. Additionally, 5th-grade reading shows relative strength, with 50% of students proficient in 2025-2026—the highest of any subject at the school—though still below the state average of 58.47%. Science scores are a regional weakness, with only 11.58% of 5th graders proficient, comparable to other struggling schools like Paloma Creek Elementary (9.52%) and Catherine Bell Elementary (2.33%). These areas offer potential footholds for improvement, but the school’s decade-long downward trend indicates a need for substantial intervention.
