Summary:
The Crandall Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 802 out of 961 school districts in Texas and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Among the standout schools in the district, Nola Kathryn Wilson Elementary has the highest statewide ranking among the elementary schools and the highest proficiency rates in reading and math across multiple grade levels. In contrast, Crandall High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 96.2% and a low dropout rate of 0.3%, but its academic performance lags behind the state averages, with proficiency rates below 50% in most end-of-course exams.
The data reveals significant variation in academic performance across the schools in the district, with some schools struggling to meet state averages. This may be related to the high rates of economic disadvantage among the student population, as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranges from 59.1% at Crandall High School to 74.75% at Noble Reed Elementary. Additionally, the differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools suggest that the district may not be equitably distributing resources, which could contribute to the disparities in educational outcomes.
