Summary

Crandall Middle in Crandall, TX, serves 1,038 students in grades 7 and 8 and is part of the Crandall Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the bottom 17th percentile of Texas districts. The school has experienced a significant decline in overall performance, dropping from a 55th percentile ranking (3-star) in 2020-2021 to a 25th percentile (1-star) for the 2025-2026 school year, while nearby Warren Middle in Forney ISD has maintained a stable 4-star rating (73rd percentile). This performance gap is especially noticeable in core subjects: for example, 8th-grade math proficiency at Crandall is 35.58% compared to 65.82% at Warren, and 8th-grade social studies proficiency is 16.43% versus 39.88%.

The most striking feature of Crandall Middle is what can be described as a "two-schools" dynamic in mathematics. While the majority of students struggle with grade-level math—with 7th-grade math proficiency dropping to just 11.84%—the school excels at accelerating a select group into Algebra I, where 75.7% of students achieve proficiency, far exceeding the state average of 54.03%. This suggests that resources may be heavily focused on advanced students, leaving the broader student body behind. In contrast, Jackson Middle in Forney ISD has shown more consistent performance across all subjects, ranking in the 36th-46th percentile range over the same period.

Despite these academic challenges, Crandall Middle has maintained an exceptionally low dropout rate of 0.0% for the 2023-2024 school year, indicating strong student engagement. The school also shows a bright spot for English Language Learners (ELL), who jumped from the 14th percentile to the 56th percentile in recent years. However, the school spends more per student ($9,446) than higher-performing neighbors like Warren Middle ($7,291), suggesting potential inefficiencies in resource allocation. With about 61% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, the school faces significant economic challenges that require targeted support to close the achievement gap in core subjects.
