Summary

Crossroads Elementary serves 752 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Riverbank, in the Sylvan Union Elementary School District. Its 2025–2026 results show a strong local academic profile, though performance varies by subject and grade. Most notably, among nine nearby K–5 schools, Crossroads had the highest all-grades ELA result and the second-highest results in math and science.

Crossroads’s 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 49% in ELA, 44% in math, and 38% in science. ELA was about 1 point below California, while math was 6 points above the state and science was 2 points above; Crossroads also exceeded its district by 7, 9, and 9 points, respectively. Compared with nearby K–5 schools, its ELA result was highest, and its math and science results were second-highest. Results are not as strong in every grade: fourth-grade math was 1 point below the state, while fifth-grade math was 3 points above it. Attendance is a bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 7% in 2025–2026, the lowest among nearby schools with data, compared with 15% in the district and 18% statewide.

Test scores have rebounded from a 2023–2024 low, but remain slightly below their 2022–2023 levels: over that full period, ELA fell 1 point, math fell 1 point, and science fell 4 points. From the low, the respective results rose 4, 3, and 7 points. SchoolDigger placed Crossroads at the 61st statewide percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, the highest percentile among nearby K–5 peers. Its student-teacher ratio was 23.5 in 2024–2025, higher than most nearby schools. The school’s reported free/reduced lunch eligible share was 61% in 2024–2025, toward the lower end of the nearby-school range. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for students receiving special education was at the 19th percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 60th percentile the year before. Its latest English Language Learner ranking was at the 21st percentile in 2023–2024, after reaching the 95th percentile in 2022–2023; these rankings offer a different perspective on how well the school serves those groups.
