About Cram Middle School

Cram is a neighborhood campus for students in grades 6–8. School materials emphasize a positive, safe community and the phrase “Our Personal Best and Nothing Less.” Families should visit to assess how that culture feels in practice.

The school provides core academics alongside electives, clubs and middle-school athletics. Elective and advanced-course availability can change from year to year, so ask counseling about current options and available seats.

Cram is not listed as a district IB, STEM or performing-arts magnet. Families seeking a specialized magnet schedule should review the current CCSD magnet catalog.

Before making a housing decision

Attendance boundaries and capacity can change.

Placement outside the attendance zone is not guaranteed. Confirm current rules with CCSD and the school.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

You live in the Cram attendance zone and want a neighborhood middle school in the Deer Springs or Aliante area.
Your student prefers staying local rather than commuting to a magnet campus.
You want to compare school culture, commute and campus size before reviewing current electives.

Think twice when

Your address is outside the zone and you are relying on open enrollment.
You specifically want a district STEM, IB or arts magnet pathway.
A large-enrollment campus is not a good fit for your student.
