Summary:
The Crandall Middle is the sole middle school located within the Crandall Independent School District (Isd) in Texas. The school serves students in grades 6-8 and has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a 1-out-of-5-star performance rating from SchoolDigger.
Crandall Middle's academic achievement lags significantly behind state averages, with proficiency rates on the STAAR exams well below the Texas benchmarks across all grade levels and subject areas. For instance, in 2024-2025, only 41.39% of 7th graders at Crandall Middle were proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 51.69%. The school's math proficiency rates are particularly low, with only 9.15% of 7th graders and 24.08% of 8th graders meeting proficiency standards, compared to state averages of 31.12% and 44.81%, respectively.
Despite the school's persistent underperformance, Crandall Middle's per-student spending is slightly above the state average, raising questions about the effective allocation of resources to support student learning and achievement. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 62.16% of its population eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, which may present additional challenges in providing the necessary resources and support for student success.
