Summary:
Crooks has one listed school, Tri-Valley Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 4 with 205 students. Its 2025–2026 results are mixed: all-grades English language arts proficiency was 43%, compared with 49% statewide, while chronic absenteeism was 5%, versus 20% statewide. The clearest strength is mathematics, where 55% of students were proficient, 11 points above the state rate.
With only one school, there are no local school-to-school standouts; compared with state and district benchmarks, Tri-Valley Elementary stands out most in all-grades math, at 55% proficient versus 44% statewide and 47% in the Tri-Valley School District 49-6. Its all-grades ELA result, 43%, was 7 points below the state and 9 below the district. Grade-level results show a sharp contrast: fourth grade was above the state in both ELA (50%, 2 points higher) and math (66%, 17 points higher), while third grade was below the state in ELA (36%, 8 points lower) and math (45%, 6 points lower). The fourth-grade math result is the strongest grade-specific comparison; third-grade ELA is the weakest.
Across the two reported years, all-grades ELA declined from 49% to 43%, while math rose from 51% to 55%; the state’s ELA result fell by 2 points and its math result was nearly unchanged. As a result, the school’s math lead over the state grew by 4 points, while its ELA gap widened by 5 points. SchoolDigger rated the school 2 stars and ranked it 127th of 203 schools in 2025–2026, compared with 3 stars and 141st of 300 the prior year. In 2024–2025, its student–teacher ratio was 13.2 and 28% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; these are context measures, not explanations for results. Because the area has only one listed school, the figures cannot show how local schools compare with one another.
