Crane Independent School District (Isd)

The Crane Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates three schools: Crane Elementary, Crane High School, and Crane Middle School. The district faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance and declining school rankings, but also has some bright spots, such as Crane High School's strong graduation and dropout rates, and Crane Middle School's exceptional performance in Algebra I.

Crane High School stands out with a high 4-year graduation rate of 97.5% and a low dropout rate of 0.4% for the 2022-2023 school year. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools in the district generally perform below the state averages in STAAR assessments. However, Crane Middle School excels in Algebra I End-of-Course (EOC) exams, with 87.5% of students scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

The Crane ISD faces equity concerns, as all three schools have a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.47% at Crane High School to 78.58% at Crane Elementary. This suggests a significant population of economically disadvantaged students within the district, which may require additional resources and support to improve overall academic performance.
