Crestworth Elementary School

Summary:

Crestworth Elementary School is a public school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, serving 389 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the East Baton Rouge Parish school district, which is ranked 77 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Crestworth Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (98.46%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 90% to 96.38% African American. However, the school consistently underperforms the district and state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Crestworth's overall Mathematics proficiency was 24%, compared to 48% for the district and 59% for the state. The school has been ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools for the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Crestworth's performance is lower than the state and district averages, some nearby schools, such as Claiborne Elementary and Sharon Hills Elementary, perform even worse, ranking in the bottom 5% of Louisiana elementary schools. The high percentage of African American students and students from low-income backgrounds at Crestworth Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's underperformance, as research has shown that these student populations often face additional challenges and barriers to academic success. Addressing these issues will require targeted interventions and support to meet the unique needs of Crestworth's student population.

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.
