Summary

Crafton Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 694 students in the Redlands Unified School District, achieving solid academic results that meet or exceed state averages while serving a community with significant economic need.

Academically, the school performs close to the state average in English and above average in both Mathematics and Science, with its science scores being a particular strength. The school manages chronic student absenteeism better than the district average and many nearby schools like Smiley Elementary and Franklin Elementary. It achieves these outcomes efficiently, spending less per student than some lower-performing neighboring schools such as Lugonia Elementary and Mentone Elementary.

While its statewide ranking has dipped slightly from previous years, Crafton consistently outperforms other schools in the district with similar student demographics, such as Kingsbury Elementary. The school has shown historical strengths in supporting students with special needs and other vulnerable groups. Parents may note an interesting pattern where math scores dip in 4th grade, which is an area the school is likely focused on improving.
