Summary

Crosby Elementary is a PK-4 school in Forney, TX, serving 452 students within the Forney Independent School District (Isd), and it has become one of the most improved schools in the area after a remarkable turnaround from a low point in the 2021-2022 school year.

This school stands out for its consistent, four-year upward trajectory, climbing from the 14th percentile statewide to the 59th percentile in the most recent school year. This growth is especially notable when compared to nearby schools like Willett Elementary, which has seen its ranking drop, and Dewberry Elementary, which continues to struggle. Crosby’s 3rd graders achieved a 53.85% proficiency rate in Math, significantly outperforming both the district and state averages. The school also excels in supporting specific student groups, ranking in the top 20% statewide for Hispanic students, Special Education students, and English Language Learners. A key advantage is its low student-teacher ratio of 13.2:1, the smallest among comparable Forney ISD elementary schools, which allows for more individualized attention compared to schools like Griffin Elementary (16.6:1).

While Crosby’s overall story is one of strong improvement, a fascinating pattern emerges in test scores: its current 3rd graders significantly outperformed district and state averages in both Reading and Math, but the same cohort’s 4th-grade scores from the previous year were below average. This suggests a recent, highly effective intervention in the 3rd-grade curriculum. The school’s success is a powerful example that a high rate of economically disadvantaged students (over 53%) does not limit academic growth, especially when compared to the nearby Johnson Elementary, which has a lower rate of disadvantage but a higher overall ranking. For parents, Crosby represents a school that is actively improving, with strong support systems and a clear focus on driving student achievement.
