The school is part of the Eastern York School District, which is ranked 223 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kreutz Creek Elementary School's academic performance is mixed compared to district and state averages. While the school's math proficiency is slightly above average, its science and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency is below the district average. The school has a relatively high percentage of students (52.5%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a disadvantaged student population. However, the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is lower, suggesting the district is allocating significant resources to support the school.

Despite these investments, Kreutz Creek Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three school years, from 612 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 946 out of 1,526 in 2023-2024. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars out of 5 to 2 stars out of 5 during the same period. This concerning trend warrants further investigation to understand the underlying factors and develop strategies to improve the school's performance and standing.
