Summary:
The city of Crossroads, Texas has only one school, Cross Oaks Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade and is part of the Denton Independent School District (ISD). Cross Oaks Elementary has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, but the school is consistently underperforming academically compared to district and state averages.
Cross Oaks Elementary's STAAR proficiency rates in reading, math, and science are significantly lower than the Denton ISD and Texas state averages across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is one of the lower-performing schools in the state. This underperformance may be related to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 50.79% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $9,992, Cross Oaks Elementary's academic challenges suggest potential issues with the efficient and effective allocation of resources to support student learning. The school's low ranking and rating, along with its underperformance on standardized tests, indicate that it may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for its diverse student population.
