Summary:
The Crockett Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools: Crockett Elementary and Early Childhood Center. Both schools serve students from prekindergarten through 5th grade and face significant challenges, as they consistently rank in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools according to the SchoolDigger rankings.
Academically, the schools struggle, with their STAAR test scores falling well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, the 5th-grade reading proficiency at Crockett Elementary was only 29.17%, compared to the state average of 53.96%. The high percentage of minority students, with over 75% of the student population being either African American or Hispanic, and the large proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 92.48% for Crockett Elementary and 89.47% for Early Childhood Center, suggest that the schools are serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges.
Despite the higher-than-average spending per student, at $10,642 for Crockett Elementary and $12,000 for Early Childhood Center, the schools have not shown any significant improvement in their performance over the past few years. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources within the Crockett Independent School District (Isd), suggesting that the district may need to implement more effective strategies and interventions to address the underlying issues and provide a quality education to its students.
