Summary

Crutchfield Elementary is a public elementary school in Sherman, Texas, serving 414 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Sherman Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 813 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crutchfield Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 2,514 and 4,070 out of around 4,600 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in reading and math projected to be around 30-50 percentage points lower than the state averages in 2024-2025. Crutchfield's performance is particularly weak for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of their respective statewide subgroups.

Crutchfield Elementary's challenges are further compounded by its high percentage of students from low-income families, with around 85-90% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. This is significantly higher than the district and state averages. While the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are similar to the district and state, its performance lags behind nearby schools like Summit Hill Elementary and Hyde Park Elementary, which serve similar socioeconomic populations but consistently outperform Crutchfield on academic measures.
