Crosby Elementary

Summary:

Crosby Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 1-5 in the Crosby Independent School District (ISD) in Crosby, Texas, with a student population of 732 that is predominantly White and Hispanic.

While Crosby Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating in recent years, the school faces several challenges. Its student performance on STAAR tests is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics and science. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its White, English Language Learner, and Special Education students struggling the most. Additionally, Crosby Elementary has seen a steady increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to its overall academic performance challenges.

Compared to nearby schools, Crosby Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of Newport Elementary within the same district, but it outperforms some schools in neighboring districts, such as Harvey S. Brown Elementary in the Channelview ISD and Highlands Elementary in the Goose Creek Consolidated ISD. To improve the school's performance and provide a high-quality education for all its students, the Crosby ISD may need to implement targeted interventions, allocate additional resources, and closely monitor the school's progress in addressing these issues.

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.
