Summary:
There is one middle school, Crandall Middle, serving grades 7 and 8 in the Crandall Independent School District (Isd), a large school with 1,038 students where 61% qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Crandall Middle shows a striking contrast in its academic programs. Its greatest strength is Algebra I, where 75.7% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026, far exceeding the state average of 54%. However, general math performance is a major weakness, with only 11.84% of 7th graders and 35.58% of 8th graders proficient, both well below state averages. Social Studies is another critical area, with just 16.43% of 8th graders proficient compared to 31.69% statewide. Reading is the school's strongest core subject, particularly in 8th grade where 55.62% of students are proficient, close to the state average of 58.69%, and showing a nearly 10-point improvement from the prior year.
The school's overall state ranking has fluctuated, sitting at the 25th percentile (1 star) in 2025-2026, indicating it performs in the bottom quarter of Texas middle schools. A positive note is the 0% dropout rate, and the student-teacher ratio is 16:1. Since this is the district's only middle school, its performance directly reflects the district's middle school outcomes. The school's success in advanced math suggests pockets of excellence, but the low proficiency in general math and social studies point to a need for broader instructional improvements to raise overall achievement.
