Summary

Cranfills Gap School is a small, rural public school in Cranfills Gap, TX, serving 116 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade as the sole campus of the Cranfills Gap Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out for its exceptionally high graduation rates—achieving 100% for four of the last five years—and a 0% dropout rate for five consecutive years, far surpassing nearby Walnut Springs School, which had a 75% graduation rate and a 1.2% dropout rate in 2023-2024. With a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 7.3:1 and higher per-student spending ($16,128) compared to neighbors like Iredell School ($13,311) and Jonesboro School ($9,666), the school provides an intimate learning environment that supports individualized attention.

The school’s high school program is its clear strength, with students dramatically outperforming state averages on End-of-Course exams. In Algebra I, 88.89% of Cranfills Gap students were proficient in 2025-2026, compared to the state average of 54.03% and just 16.67% at both Walnut Springs and Iredell. Similarly, in Biology, 77.78% were proficient, beating the state average of 70.51% and outperforming Iredell (71.43%). This success in high school STEM subjects suggests a focused and effective strategy for college and career readiness, even as the school serves a community with significant economic need, reflected in a 61.21% free/reduced lunch rate.

However, a critical concern is a persistent weakness in elementary and middle school math. In 2025-2026, 0% of 4th and 5th graders were proficient in math, compared to state averages of 49.28% and 47.38%, a pattern that has recurred over multiple years. Reading performance is more variable but shows strength, with 6th graders achieving 83.33% proficiency versus the state’s 53.52%. This “math gap” creates a leaky pipeline that the school must address to ensure all students are prepared for the high school success it so clearly delivers. The school’s high per-pupil spending and low class sizes provide the resources to potentially solve this challenge, making it a promising option for families seeking strong high school outcomes, especially in math and science.
