Crestview Elementary School

Summary:

Crestview Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 611 students in grades 1-6 in the MSD Lawrence Township school district in Indianapolis, Indiana. The school has a predominantly African American (52.7%) and Hispanic (17.02%) student population, with a smaller percentage of White (21.44%) and Asian (2.29%) students.

Despite increased spending per student, from $9,732 in 2019-2020 to $11,299 in 2021-2022, Crestview Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on ILEARN assessments. In 2023-2024, only 30.32% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and 32.27% were proficient or better in Math, compared to 27.12% and 23.91% for the district, respectively. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.4% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the district average of 21.6%. Additionally, Crestview Elementary has a high percentage of students (68.25%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Mary Evelyn Castle Elementary School and Forest Glen Elementary School, Crestview Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower, with much higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged and racially diverse community compared to its neighbors.

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.
