Welcome to the Crane Elementary School District. Crane is proud of its place as an integral part of the Yuma community and takes pride in knowing that families locate within our boundaries because of the success that Crane students enjoy. This year the Arizona Department of Education ranked Crane in the top 22% of school districts statewide. Crane students routinely match or exceed the state of Arizona in AIMS scores.

Crane educators are one reason for that success. Over the last eight years seventeen Crane teachers have won their category for  Yuma County Teacher of the Year, and four have been named Yuma County Teacher of the Year.  Crane educators, administrators, Board members and other support staff have regularly been recognized for the excellence they bring to education.

Yuma is a fast growing metropolitan area in the country, and, according to Forbes, is one of the top ten cities in which to start a business. Yuma is experiencing unprecedented growth, and Crane Schools is a key component of that growth. Come join us in your quest to be a life-long learner.
