Summary

Sybil N. Crookham Elementary is a K–5 school in Winton, California, serving 362 students. Its 2025–2026 results are mixed: science stands out, ELA is comparatively strong overall, and math is weaker. The strongest grade-level results are concentrated in fifth grade, where 69% were proficient in ELA and 56% in science; grade 3 ELA was 34%, and math was below state and district results in both grades 3 and 4. The key takeaway is that strong overall ELA and science scores mask a sharp grade-level divide, with fifth grade far stronger than earlier grades.

Science is the school’s clearest strength compared with nearby schools and the state: 56% were proficient, the highest result among 11 nearby schools, versus 36% statewide and 33% in the Winton district. ELA was 47%, second among nearby schools and about 3 points above their average, but slightly below state and district results. Frank Sparkes Elementary was the nearby ELA leader at 64%. Math was 36%, below the state and district, and about 2 points below the nearby-school average. So, the school’s science and ELA results compare well locally, while math is a relative weakness.

Results have improved over the longer term, but not steadily: ELA rose from 38% in 2022–2023 to 47% in 2025–2026 after reaching 53% the year before, while science climbed from 16% to 56% over the same period. SchoolDigger rated the school at the 56th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026, seventh among the 11 nearby schools; its percentile was 22 in 2021–2022. The latest supplied SchoolDigger subgroup ranking is especially strong for English Language Learner Students: the school was at the 96th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with 54th overall that year, a standout indicator of how well it serves that group. The student-teacher ratio was 21.2 in 2024–2025, the lowest reported among nearby schools. Its free/reduced lunch eligible share was 96% in 2024–2025, the highest in the comparison; California is also listed as a state where all students receive free meals (Community Eligibility). Chronic absenteeism was 16% in 2025–2026, above the district’s 13% but below the state’s 18%.
