Crawford Middle School opened in 1968 and is named for two Lexington educators, Dr. and Mrs. A.B. Crawford. Dr. Crawford served as principal at Bryan Station and Lafayette high schools, while Mrs. Crawford taught at Linlee High School and later worked as an attendance officer. The mission of Crawford Middle School has been to provide a learning environment that fosters and facilitates academic success while striving to address the critical, emotional, intellectual, social and physiological needs of our students.

What makes our school special

We at Crawford are both a family and a team. We have come together because of our love for children and our passion and dedication to helping our students succeed. We create strong, supportive partnerships with colleagues and have renewed our focus on creating strong partnerships with our students and families as well. We are determined that our kids will succeed and are committed to doing whatever it takes. For instance, Crawford is one of three middle schools in the district to offer the complete College SpringBoard program in language arts and math. This highly advanced, engaging and critical-thinking curriculum helps prepare students to take Advanced Placement classes in high school and to excel on college entrance exams like the SAT.
