Summary:
Zip code 79322 is served by a single school, Crosbyton Consolidated Independent School District Pre K-12, an alternative school within the Crosbyton Consolidated Independent School District that educates 316 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in a rural, economically disadvantaged area where 83.23% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
This school presents a striking paradox: it boasts a low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.7:1 and spends a high $16,376 per student, yet its academic proficiency rates on state assessments are consistently below state averages. The most critical weakness is in mathematics, where 0% of 5th and 6th graders scored proficient in the 2025-2026 school year, and 4th-grade math proficiency was just 8.7%. In contrast, the school shows a standout strength in Biology, with 61.9% of students proficient on the End of Course exam—a 25-point improvement from the prior year. Other subjects like English II Reading (47.62% proficient) also perform relatively better, though still below state norms.
The most intriguing finding is the school's ability to retain students: it achieved a 90.9% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year, despite the low test scores. This suggests the school excels at keeping students on track to graduate, even if they struggle to meet state academic standards. However, the data also reveals extreme volatility, with scores swinging dramatically year-to-year—likely due to the small student population, where a single cohort's performance can skew results. For parents, this school offers a supportive environment with small classes and high spending, but families should be aware of the significant challenges in math and social studies proficiency, balanced by strengths in science and student retention.
