Crutchfield Elementary

Crutchfield Elementary sits in Sherman, a small city in Grayson County that's been growing steadily as families look for more affordable options north of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The school serves a community where many students face academic challenges, and families considering it should know the numbers reflect that — English, math, and science scores all fall in the lower ranges statewide. That said, Sherman itself has a tight-knit feel with a genuine small-town character, and families who are engaged and proactive about supplementing their child's education may still find value in the close community connections that smaller North Texas schools can offer.
