Summary:
Crane Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one middle school, Crane Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two years, indicating significant academic challenges.
Crane Middle has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic enrollment (81.78%) and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (59.69% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch). Despite the district's higher-than-average per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic proficiency rates on STAAR tests remain below state averages across various subjects and grade levels. This suggests that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to support student learning and achievement.
The data highlights the need for Crane ISD to implement strategic interventions and reforms to improve student outcomes at Crane Middle School. Addressing the achievement gaps, implementing targeted support for economically disadvantaged students, and evaluating the effectiveness of resource allocation and instructional practices could be crucial steps in helping the school provide a high-quality education to its diverse student population.
