Summary:
Crest View Elementary is a public elementary school in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, serving around 250 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Osseo Public School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, and the student population is predominantly non-white, with a high percentage of students from low-income families.
Crest View Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Minnesota elementary schools based on the statewide SchoolDigger rankings, with a 0-star rating for the past several years. The school's proficiency rates on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III) in Math, Reading, and Science are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 18.87% of Crest View students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 43.79% for the Osseo district and 45.47% for the state. However, the school's African American and English Language Learner (ELL) students perform better relative to their peers statewide, ranking in the top 25-30% of Minnesota elementary schools for these subgroups.
Crest View Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than the other elementary schools in the Osseo district, including Zanewood Community School STEAM, Woodland Elementary, and Palmer Lake Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates and higher overall SchoolDigger rankings. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.7 to 12.4 students per teacher, suggests that class size alone is not the primary driver of academic outcomes, and that other factors, such as instructional quality, curriculum, and school climate, may play a more significant role.
