Summary:
There are five elementary schools in the 77532 zip code of Crosby, Texas, serving Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Crosby Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 2-star state rating.
Newport Elementary and Crosby Elementary are the standout schools in the area, both earning 4-star ratings for the 2024-2025 school year. Newport Elementary is the highest-ranked school for 2025-2026, sitting in the 63rd percentile, and has maintained a 4-star rating for two consecutive years. Crosby Elementary showed the most dramatic improvement, jumping from a 2-star to a 4-star rating in just one year. In contrast, Barrett Elementary and Drew Elementary are the lowest-performing schools, both ranked in the bottom 30% of Texas elementary schools with 1-star ratings. A key finding is the inverse relationship between spending and performance: the lowest-performing schools, Barrett and Drew, have the highest per-student spending ($10,899 and $10,452), while the top performers, Newport and Crosby, spend significantly less ($9,638 and $9,326).
There is a clear link between socioeconomic status and academic outcomes, as the two schools with the lowest free/reduced lunch percentages (Newport at 53.92% and Crosby at 54.84%) are the top performers, while Drew Elementary, with the highest rate at 81.06%, struggles the most. Science is a universal weakness across the district, with only Newport Elementary exceeding the state average in 5th Grade Science. The Crosby Kindergarten Center is an outlier as a dedicated Pre-K and Kindergarten center with no state test scores, but its high free/reduced lunch rate of 67.88% highlights its role as a critical early intervention point for at-risk students.
