Welcome to Crockett Elementary!

"Where Kids Come First, All Else is Secondary" reflects Crockett Elementary School's commitment to the students who call this campus home. Everywhere you look in the school, you see the staff's genuine love for children--in the cozy atmosphere of the library, in the displays of students' outstanding work in the halls, and in the warm and loving environment of the classrooms. This home is a place where believing that all students are college bound is second nature.

Crockett has the distinct honor of being the first school in Goose Creek to achieve a "Recognized" rating from the State of Texas for our outstanding performance on the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) Test.
During the 2002-2003 school year, Crockett also was nominated for the National Blue Ribbon School award.  Final notification that Crockett was selected for this prestigious award was received in September 2003 and representatives attended award ceremonies in Austin, Texas, and
Washington, D.C.
