Crandall Middle

Summary:

Crandall Middle is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Crandall Independent School District (ISD) in Crandall, Texas, with a student population of 983. The school has a diverse racial makeup, with a predominantly White (32.86%), Hispanic (39.37%), and African American (23.4%) student body, but it has consistently been rated 1-2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other Texas middle schools.

Crandall Middle's academic performance is a significant concern, with consistently lower STAAR test scores than the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 9.06% of 7th graders were proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to the state average of 31.89%. The school's performance also varies greatly across different student subgroups, with Gifted and Talented students performing relatively well, but Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students ranking in the bottom 30% of Texas middle schools. While Crandall Middle maintains a 0% dropout rate, it spends approximately $9,446 per student, which does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as New Middle and Brown Middle, Crandall Middle generally performs worse on standardized tests, with lower proficiency rates in core subjects. The school's racial achievement gaps are also significant, with African American students ranking in the bottom 30% of Texas middle schools, while the White students rank in the bottom 40%. These disparities may be influenced by the school's high percentage of students (59.72%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, a proxy for low socioeconomic status, which research has shown to be strongly correlated with educational outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
