Summary

Crawford High School in Crawford, TX, is a small, high-performing school serving 318 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of the top-rated Crawford Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its exceptional academic results and personalized learning environment. With a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.5:1, students receive more individual attention than at many nearby schools, such as Midway High School (16.2:1) or China Spring High School (14.1:1). Crawford consistently achieves high proficiency rates in core subjects like English, math, and science, often far exceeding state averages and outperforming even well-regarded suburban peers. For instance, its English II proficiency rate of nearly 98% dramatically surpasses the state average of 56%. The school also boasts a near-perfect graduation rate, with 100% in three of the last five years, and a dropout rate that is virtually zero. This level of success is a stark contrast to nearby urban schools like Waco High School, which has a 75.4% graduation rate.

While Crawford is an elite school, there are a few areas for parents to note. The school has a persistent weakness in 8th-grade social studies, where proficiency has consistently fallen below the state average. Additionally, while the school has historically been a 5-star institution, its overall state ranking has recently slipped to the 87th percentile, though its most recent test scores remain very high. Despite this, Crawford’s efficient use of resources and strong performance across nearly all metrics make it a standout choice in the region, particularly when compared to the much lower-performing schools in the nearby Waco Independent School District (Isd).
