Summary

Cram Elementary is a well-regarded K-5 public school serving about 507 students in the Redlands Unified School District in Highland, CA, consistently earning high marks for its strong academic environment.

The school stands out in the area for its excellent academic performance and exceptional student attendance. Students at Cram score significantly higher in English, math, and science than both the district and state averages. A key strength is its remarkably low rate of chronic absenteeism, at less than half the average of nearby schools, which strongly supports student success. This achievement is notable because the school accomplishes it with resources and class sizes very similar to other schools in the Redlands Unified district, such as Judson & Brown Elementary and Mentone Elementary. Furthermore, Cram performs particularly well in supporting specific student groups, including those in special education and from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

When compared to schools in the neighboring San Bernardino City Unified district, like Lugonia Elementary or Highland Pacific Elementary, the difference in outcomes is pronounced, with Cram's proficiency rates often 20 or more points higher. The school has shown a stable, high level of performance for over a decade, demonstrating a resilient and effective learning culture that benefits all students.
