Opened in 2003, Cranberry Elementary School is a public Sarasota County school that teaches prekindergarten through fifth grade. Students are encouraged to practice the school’s values: be respectful, be responsible, be ready to learn. Every quarter, children who model these behaviors are celebrated and receive prizes throughout the year. The school also recognizes students who make the honor roll and who are given awards during quarterly assemblies. Academic Olympics competitions let students show off newly learned skills and earn prizes.
Students can complement their academic learning with classwork in art, music and media. The school has a science lab and four computer labs. The school grounds also contain a vegetable garden and a butterfly garden. Students tend to and harvest vegetables and observe the habits of pollinators. Off-site, second grade students take swim lessons. On campus, students get exercise in physical education classes and during extracurricular activities like a fun run. Uniforms are mandatory at Cranberry, whose colors are navy and white.
Niche grades and rankings are calculated using dozens of public data sets and millions of reviews. Niche data scientists and user researchers rigorously analyze data and user opinions to assess the key aspects of K-12 Schools, Colleges, and Places to Live. Every month, millions of students and families use the Niche grades and report cards to find the right school or neighborhood.
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

The teachers in the school are doing their best to keep our kids in track. They are kind and professional. We love Mr Winningham, Mrs Huff, Mrs Stevens and Mrs Torres.
