Summary:
The city of Crystal City, Texas is home to 5 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Crystal City Independent School District (ISD). While the district aims to provide quality education, the data reveals that these schools consistently underperform compared to state averages, with no clear standout institutions in the area.
Across the 3 elementary schools (Zavala Elementary, Dr Tomas Rivera Elementary, and Benito Juarez Elementary) and the Sterling H Fly Junior High School, students perform significantly below state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates as low as 18.8% in Algebra I at the Crystal City High School. The district also faces challenges with high poverty levels, with 82-96% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
While the Sterling H Fly Junior High School appears to be the highest-performing school in the area, it is still ranked in the bottom 25% of Texas middle schools. The lack of diversity, with student populations ranging from 96-100% Hispanic, and the steadily declining rankings of several schools suggest that the Crystal City ISD faces systemic challenges that require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to improve educational outcomes for its students.
