Summary

Crestwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tampa, Florida, serving 774 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 49 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crestwood Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 39.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores are also generally lower than the Hillsborough district and Florida state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Crestwood's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 44%, compared to 50% for the district and 55% for the state. Additionally, Crestwood has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.13% to 83.78% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Crestwood Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, such as Carrollwood K-8 School, which is only 2.54 miles away, it becomes evident that Crestwood is performing significantly worse academically. The high chronic absenteeism rate and the school's predominantly economically disadvantaged population may be contributing factors to its lower academic performance. Despite spending more per student than the district and state averages, Crestwood Elementary's academic outcomes remain below par, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need for targeted interventions to address the specific challenges faced by the school.
