Crestwood Elementary School

Q: Is Crestwood Elementary School a good school?

Crestwood Elementary School ranks 1558 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Crestwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tampa, Florida, serving 781 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 45 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crestwood Elementary stands out for several key factors. It has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (80.92%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 41.46% to 84.44% Hispanic. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.1% to 40.0% over the past few years, much higher than the 21.7% to 42.0% range of surrounding schools. Academically, Crestwood's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are consistently lower than the Hillsborough district and Florida state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, Crestwood's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 32%, compared to 51% for Hillsborough and 55% for Florida. Additionally, Crestwood has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.39% to 91.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the 40.84% to 82.54% range of nearby schools.

When comparing Crestwood to the nearby Carrollwood Elementary School, which is only 2.54 miles away, it becomes clear that Crestwood is underperforming academically. Carrollwood consistently outperforms Crestwood in both ELA and Math proficiency rates by a significant margin. The high chronic absenteeism rates at Crestwood are likely contributing to the school's lower academic performance, and the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may also be impacting its outcomes. Crestwood's statewide ranking has remained relatively stagnant over the past several years, consistently ranking in the bottom third of Florida elementary schools, indicating a need for significant and sustained intervention to drive academic progress.

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.
