I attended and graduated Crosby High School. I was in the CISD school system the majority of my life, and overall it was extremely disappointing. The majority of teachers lack professionalism and do not prepare their students for college. The Pre-AP and AP program is decent, and if you pay attention

The regular classes are a joke, except when you have a good teacher, then it is bearable. Students often engage in fights, exchange harsh words and threats on a regular basis. I was appalled at how much disrespect there was with students, teachers and staff. Students are often ignorant of other cultures and lifestyles, which is evident when you talk to foreign exchange students at CHS about their experience in the US. Read less

Crosby High School would be the best school I've ever attended. I went to a couple through out high school. There is no racism from student nor faculty and staff. Theres a bad kid every once and awhile but you're going to get that any where you go. We dont live in a utopian world, things arent perfect
... Read more and the people most certaintly arent perfect, everyone makes mistakes. Mostly everyone in Crosby tries. Teachers care they arent just in it for the money. Principals are willing to listen to your side of the story. If there is an absence of a parent, a teacher will help. The constables well, they're alright, but the judge they send you to is strict but sees the right side of the story. Students here dont joins cliques for the most part. For those of you complaining, what did you do to help? Read less

Crosby is like many schools, it has good qualities and bad qualities. On the whole the good exceeds the bad. They have an excellent pre ap and ap program for students that are preparing for college. On the down side the standard or regular classes are a hit and miss depending on the teacher that your

The athletic program has many achievements,but because we are a smaller school district college scouts do tend to overlook our athletes. We have an excellent music program,theatre program, choir and band. There are many activities for students to become involved in their school. As for parent involvement, we have many that help out, and some that don't. This is of course due to the level of time different people have available. Read less

The schools in the district are safe, and I do not worry about my child's safety. I am generally pleased with the district except for the following: Not all teachers input grade information into Parent Connect on a timely basis. Teachers occasionally make mistakes in reporting grades

Deadlines are set for students to complete school projects; however, some teachers fail to adhere to the designated deadline and accept late work. The district needs to invest in an email system that works. The professionalism of some administration staff members is questionable. Phone calls and letters are not always responded to by the Superintendent or principal. The district should obtain bid proposals from vendors on all major projects, up to and including the consulting firm being utilized. Read less

Think twice before you enter this school district. My daughter has been here since kindergarten and now is about to enter the 11th grade.

This School is zero tolerence, which is good. But the only things I see wrong here, is that if a student is getting beaten up by someone,and trys to defend them selfs,Then that student is also given a citation, and must go to court also. Even thou they were protecting them selfs. Now that is an 'UNFAIR'
... Read more practice in my books. Is a student who never gets in troble, and has been bullied most of their school years, not allowed to defend them selfs? I say look at the facts, know your students, and then only cite the one who started it. Read less

Crosby High School is a great place to go, the majority of the students are good, and those who are not, do get punished. The teachers (with the exception of 1 or 2) are very good, and go beyond what is meant to be taught. There are hardly any drugs or violence, (maybe one bad kid here and there) and
... Read more the school is NOT racist (like some of the other reviewers said) the school has an even mix of blacks, whites, and hispanics, who are all treated the same. The only bad part about Crosby High School is the lack of parental participation. The parents of Crosby don t seem to give a care what is happening and whenever there child is being punished for breaking the law/rules, they act as if there child should have no personal responsibility, and have to face punishment for the offence!

This school has served me and my family well. All three have attended college and have several degrees. Of course there is always room for improvements, but the teachers do a good job with what they have to work with. Most students try hard, unfortunately there seems to be very little support from parents,
