Summary

Crockett Elementary is a small, PK-5 public school in Harlingen, TX, serving 234 students as part of the Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District, with over 94% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The school has shown pockets of excellence, particularly in Reading, where 5th-grade proficiency (62.5%) recently exceeded both the district and state averages, but it struggles significantly in Math and Science, with only 26.47% of 5th graders proficient in Science in 2024-2025. A notable concern is a severe gender achievement gap: female students rank in the 51st percentile, while male students rank in the 29th percentile, a 22-point disparity not seen in nearby schools.

Comparing Crockett to its neighbors reveals both challenges and opportunities. Just 1.21 miles away, Bowie Elementary serves a similarly high-poverty population (93.43% free/reduced lunch) but achieves dramatically better results, ranking in the 78th percentile (4 stars) versus Crockett’s 43rd percentile (2 stars). In 2025-2026, Bowie’s 5th graders achieved 77.14% proficiency in both Reading and Math, while Crockett’s scored 62.5% and 41.46%, respectively, and in Science, the gap is a chasm: Bowie at 64.52% versus Crockett at 26.47%. This proves that high poverty does not dictate low performance, and Crockett could look to Bowie as a peer model for effective strategies. Meanwhile, the nearby charter Jubilee Harlingen shows inconsistent results, with 3rd graders scoring 88.89% in Reading but 4th graders dropping to 39.13%, suggesting small school sizes and high student mobility may be common challenges in the area.

Crockett’s support for Special Education students is highly erratic, ranking in the 86th percentile in 2023-2024 but plummeting to the 21st percentile in 2025-2026, indicating a lack of a stable program. However, the school has a history of exceptional performance for Gifted and Talented students, ranking 1st out of 3,184 schools statewide in 2018-2019, showing its capacity for world-class instruction. Per-student spending ($11,501) is higher than some peers like Long Elementary ($10,235) but lower than Zavala Elementary ($12,895), and the student-teacher ratio of 16.5 is the highest among its HCISD peers, suggesting resources may not be allocated as effectively as at Bowie, which spends slightly less ($10,892) for far better results.
