Located in CROWLEY, TX. Serving grades PK through 05.
Deer Creek Elementary serves students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Crowley, a growing community in Tarrant County. The school enrolls a substantial student population, with about three-quarters of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The student body is racially and ethnically diverse, with a Hispanic majority alongside significant Black, white, and multiracial enrollment.
The most recent state assessment data shows mixed academic performance across grade levels and subjects. In English language arts, fifth graders performed considerably stronger than younger students. Third and fourth graders taking Spanish-language assessments showed weak results, with fourth grade showing no students at proficient levels. Math proficiency rates were similarly uneven: third grade showed modest results, fourth grade Spanish assessments produced no proficient students, and fifth grade Spanish assessments had low proficiency. Science assessment data is sparse, with only a Spanish fifth-grade test administered and no students meeting proficiency. Overall across all tested subjects, the school's proficiency rates sit in the bottom quartile relative to other districts in Tarrant County.
The pattern in these results suggests that students taking assessments in Spanish are performing substantially below those taking assessments in English, particularly in math and early grades. A parent may want to look into whether the school is adjusting instruction based on these disparities and what bilingual or English-language support structures exist.
Crowley ISD as a whole is in a growth phase, with voters approving a substantial bond in 2023 that includes new construction and expansions across the district through 2027. This reflects the area's expanding population and signals ongoing change in school facilities and programming. The district structured the bond to avoid raising property tax rates by relying on growth in assessed property values. Housing values in the Crowley area show recent modest decline, while rental costs remain relatively stable. The local economic context shows a moderate unemployment rate and median household income above national levels.
Deer Creek sits within a district and community managing rapid growth. Families choosing this school should understand that academic performance is currently below district average and that teaching approaches to support English learners and bilingual students warrant direct conversation with the school leadership.
