Fort Crook Elementary School's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the state and district averages, with some exceptions. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade students outperformed the state and district in ELA, with 77.78% proficient or better compared to 56.76% for the district and 55.79% for the state. However, in other grade levels and subjects, the school's performance lags behind, such as in 3rd-grade Mathematics, where only 57.14% of students were proficient or better compared to 60.26% statewide. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.2% to 22.9% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.
Interestingly, the school's performance data for different student subgroups, such as gender, race, and socioeconomic status, provides some insights. The school's Hispanic students and low-socioeconomic status students have performed relatively well compared to their peers in the state, suggesting that the school may be effectively supporting these populations. Additionally, the school's spending per student has increased over the years, from $12,303 in 2020-2021 to $16,579 in 2023-2024, which may indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support for the school's students. Compared to nearby schools like Fairview Elementary and Anderson Grove Elementary, which have higher rankings, ratings, and test scores, Fort Crook Elementary School faces some challenges, but its efforts to support its diverse student population may be paying off for certain subgroups.
