Creswell Elementary School

Summary:

Creswell Elementary School is a public elementary school in Shreveport, Louisiana, serving grades PK-5 with an enrollment of around 250 students. The school is part of the Caddo Parish school district, which is ranked 90 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Creswell Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Louisiana elementary schools, ranking between 594-650 out of 727-730 schools in recent years. It has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. Creswell's student proficiency rates on the LEAP assessments are significantly lower than the Caddo Parish and Louisiana state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 33% of 5th-grade students were proficient in Mathematics, compared to 51% in Caddo Parish and 59% statewide. Additionally, Creswell has a very high percentage of students (over 80%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Creswell to the nearby schools in the Caddo Parish district, it is clear that Creswell is an outlier in terms of student performance and school ranking. For example, A.C. Steere Elementary and Fairfield Magnet School, which are both within a 2-mile radius, rank in the top 25% of Louisiana elementary schools and have significantly higher student proficiency rates. Creswell's student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and low-socioeconomic status students, also perform significantly worse than their peers at the district and state levels, suggesting the school may be struggling to effectively serve its most vulnerable student populations.

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.
