Summary:
The Crosby Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools. The district serves a diverse student population with varying levels of academic performance and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Among the standout schools in the district, Newport Elementary consistently ranks as one of the top-performing elementary schools, with higher test scores than the district and state averages. In contrast, the alternative high schools, Crosby Crossroads Academy and Highpoint School East (Crosby), struggle with low test scores, high dropout rates, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The data reveals a correlation between higher poverty levels and lower academic performance, with schools like Drew Elementary and Crosby Kindergarten Center having the highest free/reduced lunch rates and lower test scores. While some schools, like Crosby Middle, stand out with exceptional performance in specific subjects, the district as a whole performs below the state average, indicating a need for a more consistent and effective approach to education across all schools.
