CRANFILLS GAP ISD

Located at 505 South 2nd Street in Cranfills Gap, Texas, Cranfills Gap Independent School District serves as a vital educational centerpiece for its local community. Operating as an open, traditional public school district, it encompasses a single operational campus providing comprehensive instruction for students from pre-kindergarten all the way through twelfth grade. Nestled within a remote rural setting of the greater Waco metropolitan area, the district offers a quiet, highly focused learning atmosphere tailored to the unique academic and personal growth needs of a small-town student body.

The district fosters a close-knit learning community, educating a total of 116 students with a balanced demographic makeup that includes 60 female and 56 male learners, primarily representing White and Hispanic populations. What defines Cranfills Gap ISD is its exceptional staffing investment relative to student size; the district employs over 31 full-time equivalent teachers, supported by instructional aides and specialized support personnel that bring total district staffing to more than 51 full-time equivalents. For parents, students, and educational researchers, this high concentration of educators creates an environment characterized by exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratios, personalized academic mentoring, and deep community connections.
