Summary:
The 8 public schools in zip code 76036 (Crowley, TX) are all part of the Crowley Independent School District (Isd), serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in a community facing significant socioeconomic challenges, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 50% to over 80%.
The standout school in the area is Crowley Montessori Academy, which achieved a 3-star rating and the 65th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, far outperforming the district's 16th percentile ranking. It has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (50%) and excels in reading, with 80% of 3rd graders proficient versus 52% statewide. Among middle schools, Richard Allie Middle is the highest-ranked for 2025-2026, despite a decline from the 44th to the 27th percentile, and boasts an exceptional 86.44% proficiency rate in Algebra I. In contrast, H F Stevens Middle faces the greatest challenges with an 80.91% free/reduced lunch rate and the lowest middle school ranking (15th percentile). Crowley High School maintains a graduation rate of 90.7%, slightly above the district average.
A key finding is the "two-tiered" math system: while 7th-grade math proficiency is near zero (0-4%) across all middle schools, Algebra I scores for advanced 8th graders are very high, especially at Richard Allie (86.44%) and H F Stevens (73.42%). Elementary reading is a relative strength, with S H Crowley Elementary (57.5%) and Crowley Montessori Academy (60%) near the state average of 58.47% for 5th grade. However, this progress is not sustained into middle school, and the high school dropout rate of 2.0% exceeds the district average of 1.6%, suggesting students who struggle in middle school are at higher risk of dropping out. Per-student spending is uniform ($9,582 to $11,142) and does not correlate with performance.
