Schools in Baird ISD · Callahan County

Ten public schools across four districts — that's the full scope of Callahan County's rural West Texas landscape, where Baird, Clyde, and Cross Plains anchor a wide-open stretch of the Rolling Plains. Small numbers don't mean weak options: Eula High School ranks at the 86th percentile statewide, and Cross Plains Elementary follows close behind at the 83rd, both punching well above what their size might suggest. With three schools landing in the top quartile statewide, families willing to navigate the distances between towns will find a surprisingly competitive academic environment in this compact corner of Texas.
