Crosby Middle

Summary:

Crosby Middle is a public middle school located in Hitchcock, Texas, serving approximately 410 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Hitchcock Independent School District, which is ranked 884 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crosby Middle faces significant challenges in terms of student academic achievement, with consistently low performance across multiple metrics compared to state and local averages. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American (39.51%) and Hispanic (37.32%) students compared to the state average, and a lower percentage of White (20.73%) and Asian (0.73%) students. Crosby Middle's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state average across all subjects and grade levels, earning it a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years. However, the school has had relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 2.4% over the past few years, which is better than the state average. Crosby Middle also has a very high percentage of students (around 80%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Crosby Middle's performance lags significantly behind nearby schools, such as Bayside Intermediate and League City Intermediate, which are part of the higher-performing Clear Creek Independent School District. These schools have much higher academic achievement, lower dropout rates, and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. Crosby Middle's performance is particularly low for African American, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged students, who consistently rank in the bottom quarter of their respective subgroups in Texas. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, the racial/ethnic composition of the student body, and the relatively high student-teacher ratio may all be contributing factors to Crosby Middle's poor academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
