Summary:
The Crosby Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to three high schools: Crosby High School, Crosby Crossroads Academy, and Highpoint School East (Crosby). These schools serve a diverse student population, with varying academic performance, graduation rates, and spending per student.
Crosby High School, the largest in the district with 1,937 students, stands out for its strong four-year graduation rate of 95.4% and low dropout rate of 0.7%. While its academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC test scores, is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, the school's diverse student population and relatively low spending per student of $9,303 suggest it is effectively supporting its students' educational attainment. In contrast, the smaller high schools, Crosby Crossroads Academy and Highpoint School East (Crosby), face unique challenges, with significantly lower STAAR EOC test scores and higher dropout rates, despite their higher spending per student.
The disparities in academic performance and student outcomes across the Crosby ISD high schools suggest that the district may need to investigate the factors contributing to these differences and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students, regardless of the size or demographics of their school. By addressing these issues, the district can work to provide a high-quality education that prepares all students for success.
