Summary

Sturgeon Cromer Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Flagstaff, Arizona, with 378 students enrolled. The school is part of the Flagstaff Unified District, which is ranked 197 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sturgeon Cromer Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Flagstaff Unified District and the state of Arizona in standardized test scores across grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 24% in 3rd grade ELA, 29% in 5th grade Science, and 19% in 3rd grade Math, all significantly below the district and state averages. The school's ranking has declined from a high of 377 in 2015-2016 to a low of 670 in 2024-2025, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state. Additionally, the school's performance is particularly weak for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic, Multi-racial, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, all of whom rank in the bottom 25% of their respective peer groups statewide.

Interestingly, Sturgeon Cromer Elementary performs significantly worse than the other elementary schools in the Flagstaff Unified District, such as Charles W. Sechrist Elementary and Eva Marshall Elementary, which have higher test scores, better rankings, and serve more advantaged student populations. The decrease in per-student spending at Sturgeon Cromer Elementary, from $9,184 in 2018-2019 to $7,797 in 2021-2022, may be contributing to its academic challenges, as the school may lack the resources to provide the necessary support and interventions for its students.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, July 5, 2017

This is our first experience with a public elementary school. We came from the Phoenix area where my son went to private preschool. We are SO impressed with this school and the teachers. I was new to Flagstaff and had some parents tell me how awful Cromer school was (I believe them to just be school snobs). My son has done better at this school than the private school he was at in the valley. He is learning so much, he absolutely loves it. He comes home everyday saying that he had a wonderful day and looks forward to going. The teachers and Principal are so nice! It's too bad that we're moving away as soon as he finishes school in May. I would love for him to continue on there. Close Quote
