Crestview Elementary School

Summary:

Crestview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Springfield, Tennessee, serving around 830 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Robertson County School District, which is ranked 113 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crestview Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Robertson County and Tennessee state averages on standardized assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 19.6% of Crestview students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 31.4% in Robertson County and 39.7% statewide. The school also has a low statewide ranking, placing between 765th and 917th out of over 1,000 Tennessee elementary schools in recent years, putting it in the bottom 20-25% of the state. Crestview particularly struggles to serve its diverse student population, ranking low for its African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner subgroups.

While Crestview Elementary's per-student spending has decreased in recent years, its student-teacher ratio has remained relatively stable. However, the school's academic performance lags significantly behind that of nearby schools like Greenbrier Elementary, which consistently ranks in the top 25% of Tennessee elementary schools and has much higher proficiency rates. Crestview's diverse student population and lack of improvement over time suggest the school may need to implement more comprehensive, evidence-based strategies to drive student achievement.

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.
