CROSS PLAINS ISD

Located at 700 N Main Street in Cross Plains, Texas, Cross Plains Independent School District serves as an essential educational hub for its surrounding community. Operating as a traditional, non-charter public school district in a remote rural setting within the broader Abilene region, the district maintains two active campus facilities serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Cross Plains ISD provides a complete academic pathway under a single district umbrella, supporting children from their initial early childhood experiences through elementary and middle grades, culminating in high school graduation and post-secondary preparation.

With a total enrollment of 365 students, the district offers a close-knit educational environment where children benefit from small class sizes and personalized instruction. The student body—comprising 193 male and 172 female students—reflects a rural demographic made up predominantly of White and Hispanic learners, as well as multi-racial and American Indian students. To ensure robust academic and operational support, the district employs 82 full-time equivalent teachers, backed by nearly 11.5 instructional aides and over 55 support staff members. This strong overall staffing presence creates a low student-to-educator ratio, allowing Cross Plains ISD to deliver focused academic guidance, supportive interventions, and a well-maintained learning environment across all grade levels.
