Summary

Cragmont Elementary is a highly-rated K-5 public school serving about 290 students in the North Berkeley hills, part of the high-performing Berkeley Unified district.

The school is consistently strong, with student test scores in English, Math, and Science well above state averages, and it has shown steady improvement over the last decade. It stands out for its particularly effective science program and for delivering excellent results for all students. However, the school faces a challenge with chronic student absences, which are higher than the district average and higher than at some nearby schools like Ruth Acty Elementary and Berkeley Arts Magnet at Whittier.

Within the competitive Berkeley landscape, Cragmont holds a solid middle position among top schools—stronger than Thousand Oaks Elementary but not as elite as Ruth Acty. Interestingly, comparisons to schools in other districts, like Kensington Elementary in West Contra Costa Unified, show similar academic outcomes can be achieved with different levels of funding, highlighting how district policies affect resources.
