Crestmore Elementary

Summary:

Crestmore Elementary is a public elementary school located in Bloomington, California, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 638 students. The school is part of the Colton Joint Unified School District, which is ranked 1219 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crestmore Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy ranged from 27.78% to 38.37% at Crestmore, compared to 29.23% to 35.88% for the district and 42.8% to 47.37% for the state. The school's performance in Mathematics and Science is also below the district and state averages. Additionally, Crestmore Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.5% in 2018-2019 to 35.3% in 2022-2023, which may be contributing to the school's academic struggles.

Interestingly, the nearby Ruth Grimes Elementary and Sycamore Hills Elementary, both within the Colton Joint Unified School District, generally perform better academically than Crestmore Elementary, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. To address these issues, the school and district should focus on implementing targeted interventions and support programs to improve student attendance and engagement, as well as providing additional resources and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

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.
