Crawford Independent School District is a public school district based in Crawford, Texas (USA).
Located in McLennan County, small portions of the district extend into Coryell and Bosque counties.
Crawford ISD has two campuses:
- Crawford High School (Grades 7-12),
- Crawford Elementary School (Grades PK-6) (2004 National Blue Ribbon School).
In 2009, the school district was rated "exemplary" by the Texas Education Agency.
Controversy
In July 2024, the ACLU of Texas sent Crawford Independent School District a letter, alleging that the district's 2023-2024 dress and grooming code appeared to violate the Texas CROWN Act, a state law which prohibits racial discrimination based on hair texture or styles, and asking the district to revise its policies for the 2024-2025 school year.
