Summary

Sybil N. Crookham Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 362 students in the Winton district, and it stands out as a remarkable success story of academic improvement, having risen from a low-performing ranking just a few years ago to now performing solidly above average for the state.

The school's most impressive strength is its exceptional support for specific student groups; it ranks in the top 4% of all California schools for its English Language Learner students and performs very well with students from low-income families. This focus has fueled a dramatic turnaround, with the school's statewide ranking jumping from the 22nd percentile to the 59th percentile in just three years, a rate of improvement unmatched by nearby schools. Furthermore, the school has successfully tackled chronic absenteeism, reducing it from a pandemic high of 75% down to 14%, which is now better than the state average.

When comparing within its own district, Crookham performs well but trails its peer, Frank Sparkes Elementary, in overall academics, despite spending more per student. Key areas for continued growth include addressing a significant performance gap between male and female students and strengthening 5th-grade mathematics scores. Compared to schools in the neighboring Atwater Elementary district, such as Thomas Olaeta Elementary and Juniper Elementary, Crookham remains competitive even while serving a student population with greater economic need.
