Summary

W A Martin Elementary in Crandall, TX, serves 614 students in grades PK-6 within the Crandall Independent School District (Isd), where about 68% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has experienced a steep and concerning decline over the past decade, dropping from a solidly average ranking near the 50th percentile in the mid-2010s to the 5th percentile in the most recent 2025-2026 ranking, making it the lowest-performing elementary school in the district.

The most critical weakness is in mathematics, where proficiency rates are alarmingly low—just 25.5% in 3rd grade, 17.0% in 4th grade, and 26.3% in 5th grade—roughly half the state average. Male students are particularly struggling, ranking in the 2nd percentile statewide, while economically disadvantaged students rank in the 5th percentile. However, there is a glimmer of hope: the school's Special Education program has shown relative strength, ranking in the 60th percentile in 2024-2025, suggesting that effective strategies exist that could be applied more broadly.

What makes this situation especially striking is that nearby schools with similar or even higher poverty rates are achieving far better results. Just two miles away, Noble Reed Elementary, also in Crandall ISD, serves a student body with a 70.75% poverty rate yet ranks in the 47th percentile, with math proficiency rates often double those at W A Martin. Similarly, Central Elementary in Dallas Independent School District (Isd) has a 90.48% poverty rate but ranks in the 87th percentile. These comparisons show that high poverty does not have to mean low performance, and W A Martin's challenges are likely tied to school-specific strategies and leadership rather than demographics alone.
