Crutchfield Elementary

Summary:

Crutchfield Elementary is a public elementary school in Sherman, Texas, serving 408 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Sherman Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 792 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crutchfield Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 66.91% Hispanic, significantly higher than nearby schools like Henry W Sory Elementary (15.7%) and Dillingham Elementary (56.15%). The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with its African American, Hispanic, White, and Gifted and Talented student subgroups all performing in the bottom 10-15% statewide. Additionally, over 89% of Crutchfield's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite spending between $10,648 and $11,456 per student, which is higher than nearby schools but still below the state average, Crutchfield Elementary's academic performance has declined over the past several years, with its statewide ranking dropping from the 3rd quartile to the bottom quartile. This suggests that the school may not be effectively allocating its resources or targeting the areas of greatest need to improve student outcomes and close achievement gaps.

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.
