Summary:
Colonel Crawford Local is a four-school Ohio district serving about 960 students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade on one shared campus at 5444 Crestline Rd in Crestline, and the district as a whole ranks 214th of 773 Ohio districts (72nd percentile, 4 stars). Enrollment is distributed very evenly across the buildings: Col Crawford High School (grades 9–12, 250 students), William Crawford Intermediate Schools (grades 6–8, 241), Hannah Crawford Elementary School grades 3 -5 (229), and Hannah Crawford Elementary School PreK-Grade 2 (240).
The buildings differ more than the district average suggests. Col Crawford High School is the academic flagship, ranked 161st of 795 Ohio high schools (80th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026 and improving over three years, with a 100% graduation rate. William Crawford Intermediate Schools shows outstanding peaks — Algebra I at 100% proficiency two years running and 8th grade Science at 83.5% — but its rank has slipped from 86th to 84th to 71st percentile. Hannah Crawford Elementary School grades 3 -5 is the only 3-star building (578th of 1,560, 63rd percentile). Hannah Crawford Elementary School PreK-Grade 2 has no state test data but the highest poverty indicator (36.67% free/reduced lunch) and the highest student-teacher ratio (21.8, versus 14.8 at the high school).
The district's standout gap is 5th grade math at 29.8% proficiency versus 59.1% statewide — roughly half the state rate, and 33.3% versus 56.7% the prior year. That cohort is now the 6th grade class, where math sits 8.9 points below state. By contrast, American History (94.8% vs. 73.2%) and Biology (85.1% vs. 67.0%) are the strongest results anywhere in the data, and Geometry (48.8%) is the weakest high school subject though still above state. Chronic absenteeism is a district-wide strength, between 5.5% and 6.6% in every building.
