Cragmont Elementary

Cragmont Elementary sits in the Berkeley Hills, where the air is crisp and the views stretch toward the Bay — and the school has a reputation to match its setting. Strong across the board in academics, with science scores that really stand out, it draws families who value rigorous learning in a community that still feels genuinely neighborhood-y rather than overly competitive. Berkeley's mix of intellectual energy, outdoor access, and progressive values runs right through this school, making it a natural fit for families who want their kids challenged and engaged from the start.
