Summary:
The Crandall Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools, located in a predominantly low-income area, face significant challenges in academic performance compared to state averages, but a few standout schools provide valuable insights.
Among the elementary schools, Hollis T Dietz Elementary and Barbara Walker Elementary stand out for their strong academic performance. Nola Kathryn Wilson Elementary has the highest statewide ranking and the highest percentage of white students, while Barbara Walker Elementary has the highest percentage of African American students and outperforms the district and state in several grade levels, particularly in 5th grade math.
Overall, the Crandall ISD elementary schools face significant challenges, with most underperforming the state averages in reading and math proficiency. The high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggest that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic performance issues. However, the standout schools provide valuable insights that could inform strategies to address these challenges and improve educational outcomes for all students in the district.
