Summary

Dr Kay Teer Crawford Elementary is a PK-5 school in Edinburg, TX, serving 625 students within the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District, and it stands out as a consistently high-performing school that has achieved remarkable academic success despite serving a predominantly low-income community.

This school is a true turnaround story. A decade ago, Crawford ranked in the bottom 20% of Texas schools, but it has since climbed to a solid 4-star rating, ranking in the 76th-79th percentile statewide for five of the last six years. What makes this even more impressive is how effectively it serves its students. Crawford is exceptionally strong in math and science, with 5th-grade math proficiency rates (66%) far exceeding the state average (47%), and science scores that are nearly double the district average. The school also boasts an elite Gifted and Talented program that recently ranked in the 97th percentile. Compared to nearby schools like Zavala Elementary (19th-24th percentile) and Carmen V Avila Elementary (30th-36th percentile), Crawford is a clear standout. Even when compared to the higher-ranked Austin Elementary, Crawford is more effective at helping students from low-income backgrounds achieve, ranking in the 90th percentile or higher for this group for three consecutive years.

However, there is one critical area that needs attention. While the school excels with most students, its Special Education program has seen a dramatic and concerning drop, ranking in the 6th percentile in the most recent year. This is a sharp decline from previous years and suggests a need for immediate focus to ensure all students benefit from the school's success. Overall, Crawford is a resilient, efficient school that gets excellent results, especially in math and science, but parents of children receiving special education services should ask about recent changes and support plans.
