Attendance and staffing are watch items. Chronic absenteeism has risen from 11.9% in 2021–22 to 20.4% in 2025–26; it is still below the district’s 22.9%, but higher than several nearby schools, including Duncan Falls Elementary School (13.3%), West Elementary School (13.4%), Junction City Elementary School (15.4%), Somerset Elementary School (16.0%), and Maysville Elementary School (18.3%). Crooksville’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio is 25.1, the highest among nearby schools, where ratios range from 11.1 to 19.3. Its 2018–19 per-student spending was $8,341, mid-to-low for the group. Overall, the school shows strengths in 3rd grade ELA and for Special Education and low-income students, but rising absenteeism, a high student-teacher ratio, and below-state math and 4th grade ELA results are challenges.
