Crowley ISD highlights large CCMR gains, adds Tarleton dual‑credit courses and campus interventions
Summary
District leaders reported double‑digit month‑over‑month gains in CCMR accountability, outlined new Tarleton State dual‑credit offerings and described campus interventions—TSI boot camps, incentives, grad trackers and counseling—to push more seniors across CCMR indicators.
Crowley ISD trustees heard a multipart College, Career and Military Readiness (CCMR) update on Jan. 24 that combined district data, new dual‑credit partnerships and campus‑level interventions intended to raise graduation readiness.
District presenter Grant said the district’s CCMR snapshot rose substantially in recent months in internal comparisons presented to trustees: a jump from 42% in November 2024 to 86% in December 2025 in the district’s month‑over‑month snapshots, and large campus gains (Crowley High from ~50% to 91% and North Crowley from ~56% to 82% in the same comparison). Grant credited coordinated campus strategies, improved data cadence and targeted interventions for the increases.
Anna Roe announced an expanded partnership with Tarleton State University to add two dual‑credit opportunities next year for seniors: a year‑long statistics and business decision‑making course that counts as a math credit and yields three hours of dual credit, and a college readiness and study skills course built on public speaking that also provides three hours of dual credit. Both courses are intended to transfer to university core credit and to serve as CCMR indicators.
Campus teams described specific tactics: Crowley High used an on‑campus CCMR Expo with 32 representatives, Saturday TSI boot camps, a PNC Bank partnership to allow eligible students to open checking accounts during the expo, incentives tied to field trips and a weekly report to monitor remaining students. North Crowley described detailed master‑schedule adjustments, a grad tracker listing all graduates and their CCMR status, a mix of targeted instructional paths (separating TSI‑passers into different classes) and IXL/SAT alignment as part of sustained instructional focus.
Trustees asked about outreach to parents who do not attend meetings; campus leaders said they used Zoom recordings, phone calls, e‑mail callouts and band apps for senior parents, and that counselors review transcripts of newly enrolled students to determine whether CCMR indicators were already met. Presenters also acknowledged delays in some statewide data reporting (dual‑credit, OnRamps, AP, industry‑based certifications) that will be processed later in the spring and could change final accountability numbers.
Board members praised the intentional, cross‑departmental approach and requested a future briefing on the 2028 accountability refresh that may affect the class of 2027. No formal board action was recorded on the CCMR presentations; trustees asked staff to continue monitoring and improving outreach and verification processes.
