Crowell Elementary

Crowell Elementary sits in Turlock, a Central Valley city with a tight-knit agricultural community feel and a slower pace than the Bay Area suburbs to the west. Serving grades K through 6, the school faces some academic headwinds, ranking in the lower percentiles statewide in English and math — something families weighing their options in the Turlock Unified district will want to factor in. Families who are engaged and looking to supplement their child's learning at home may find opportunities to connect with teachers and staff in what tends to be a more community-oriented, smaller-city environment.
