Crestmont Elementary School

Summary:

Crestmont Elementary School is a public elementary school in Northport, Alabama, serving 270 students in grades PK-4. As part of the Tuscaloosa County School District, which is ranked 90 out of 137 districts in the state, Crestmont faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance and student demographics.

Crestmont's student population is notably more diverse than nearby schools, with a student body that is 55.19% African American, 30% Hispanic, and only 13.33% White. This contrasts sharply with schools like FaucettVestavia Elementary, which has a 57.98% White student population. Crestmont's academic performance also lags behind, with only 13.33% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 32.76% in Tuscaloosa County and 42.16% statewide. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated but generally places it in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crestmont's challenges extend beyond overall academic performance, with significant disparities between student subgroups. While the school's White students perform relatively well, its African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students all struggle, with 1- or 2-star rankings. Additionally, Crestmont has a very high percentage of students (around 79%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Addressing these complex issues will likely require a comprehensive, long-term approach to ensure that all students at Crestmont have the opportunity to succeed.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
