Summary

Crutchfield Elementary in Sherman, TX, serves 424 students in grades K-5 and is part of the Sherman Independent School District (Isd), a district that faces significant challenges. The school has experienced a dramatic decline, falling to the 4th percentile statewide in the 2025-2026 school year—its lowest rank ever—after showing signs of improvement just a year prior.

This catastrophic drop is most evident in core subject proficiency rates, which are alarmingly low. For example, only 12.99% of 3rd graders are proficient in math, compared to 44.33% statewide, and 27.72% of 4th graders are proficient in reading, versus 53.04% statewide. These scores are the lowest among all Sherman ISD elementary schools. The school is also struggling to serve all student groups effectively, earning 0 stars for most subgroups in recent data. Interestingly, Crutchfield spends a high amount per student—$11,456—and has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12:1, yet these resources are not translating into academic success. Nearby Fairview Elementary, which serves a similar high-poverty population, achieved a 63rd percentile ranking in 2024-2025, showing that improvement is possible with effective leadership and instruction.

The school’s bilingual program has shown some relative strength, with Spanish-language test scores occasionally exceeding district averages, though this is inconsistent. The volatility in performance—a brief recovery from 2022-2023 to 2024-2025 followed by a severe collapse—is a major red flag. For parents considering Crutchfield, the data suggests an urgent need for a comprehensive review of instructional practices and resource allocation. The success of Fairview Elementary demonstrates that high-poverty schools can achieve strong outcomes, making Crutchfield’s current crisis a critical concern for the community.
