Summary

Cresthaven Elementary School is a public elementary school in Pompano Beach, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 473 students. The school is part of the Broward County School District, which is ranked 25th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cresthaven Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 33.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the Broward County average of around 31.4%. The school's test scores are also consistently lower than the Broward County and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math 10-15 percentage points below the county and state averages in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, Cresthaven Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.13% to 83.86% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Somerset Academy Pompano (K-5) and Palmview Elementary School.

When comparing Cresthaven Elementary to the nearby schools, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming academically. The nearby charter schools, such as Innovation Charter School, and the magnet schools, such as Palmview Elementary and Sanders Park Elementary, consistently outperform Cresthaven Elementary on test scores and other metrics. The high chronic absenteeism rates at Cresthaven Elementary may be linked to the school's high percentage of students from low-income families, which research has shown can negatively impact academic performance. By addressing these issues and learning from the successes of nearby schools, Cresthaven Elementary may be able to improve its academic outcomes and provide a better educational experience for its students.
