Crete Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently ranking 2-3 stars and exceeding the state average on NSCAS tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Crete Intermediate School has also shown strong performance on NSCAS tests, particularly in Mathematics.

A concerning issue across all schools in the district is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the district serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, particularly at Crete Elementary School. Addressing these challenges and implementing more consistent and effective educational approaches will be crucial for improving the overall quality of education in the Crete Public Schools district.
