Summary

Richard Crane Elementary is a K–5 school serving 274 students in Rohnert Park, in the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified district. In 2025–2026, 26% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 14% in math and 34% in science. The most important concern is math: Richard Crane had the lowest math proficiency among the six nearby K–5 schools, and its result was well below both the district and state.

Science is the school’s strongest comparison with nearby K–5 schools: its 34% proficiency was 2 percentage points above their average, and 6 points above the district’s, though 2 points below the state’s. ELA proficiency was 26%, 15 points below the nearby-school average, 16 points below the district and 23 points below the state. Math was 14%—19 points below the nearby-school average, 13 points below the district and 24 points below the state. Grade 3 stands out as a particular challenge: ELA proficiency was 7% and math was 11%, both the lowest among the nearby K–5 schools. Grade 5 science is a brighter spot, ranking second among those schools.

Results have moved in different directions over time. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, science proficiency rose 23 percentage points, while ELA gained 4 points and math fell 4 points; in the latest year, ELA dropped 7 points and math dropped 11. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 19th statewide percentile and gave it 1 star in 2025–2026. Its statewide percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students was 8, compared with 19 overall; in 2024–2025, the group’s percentile was 17 versus 33 overall. For context, the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 24.9, compared with an average of about 23 at nearby K–5 schools, and 63% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year.
