Crossroads High School

Summary:

Crossroads High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Copperas Cove, Texas, which is part of the Copperas Cove Independent School District (CCISD). Despite its relatively small student population of 139, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing high schools in the state.

Crossroads High School has a troubling track record, with very low academic performance, declining graduation rates, and high dropout rates. The school's students perform poorly on state assessments, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages across all subject areas. Additionally, Crossroads High School has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 74.82% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the district average of 51.82% at Copperas Cove High School. These struggles stand in stark contrast to the relatively better-performing nearby high schools, such as Killeen High School and Chaparral High School.

Despite the high per-student spending at Crossroads High School, ranging from $12,336 to $19,921 over the past three years, the school's academic outcomes have not improved. The school's struggles are particularly pronounced among its student subgroups, with African American, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged students performing in the bottom 5-10% of Texas high schools for these subgroups. The combination of poor academic performance, declining graduation rates, and disproportionate underperformance of student subgroups presents significant challenges for Crossroads High School and the Copperas Cove Independent School District.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
