Summary:
The city of Mantua, Ohio is home to three schools that serve students from preschool through high school: Crestwood High School, Crestwood Primary School, and Crestwood Intermediate School. These schools, part of the Crestwood Local district, demonstrate a mix of strong performance and areas for improvement.
Crestwood High School stands out as the district's top performer, ranking 236 out of 864 Ohio high schools and earning a 4-star rating. With an impressive 95.5% four-year graduation rate and strong test scores, particularly in subjects like American Government, American History, and Biology, the high school is preparing students well for post-secondary success. In contrast, Crestwood Primary School has a much lower chronic absenteeism rate of 10.7%, compared to the high school's 42.9%, suggesting a need to address attendance issues at the secondary level.
Across the district, the schools serve a predominantly white student population, with 91.15% to 93.64% white students. However, a significant percentage of students (34-36%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic need in the community. While the primary and intermediate schools show strong performance on 3rd-grade math and English language arts tests, there are areas for improvement, such as lower proficiency rates in 5th-grade science and 6th-grade math and English language arts at the intermediate school. Addressing these areas of weakness could help the district enhance the overall educational outcomes for its students.
