Summary

Crestview Elementary is a public elementary school in Richmond, Virginia, serving 375 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Henrico County Public Schools district, which is ranked 89 out of 129 school districts in the state.

Crestview Elementary consistently outperforms the Henrico County and Virginia state averages in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Crestview's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 76.47%, compared to 64.2% for Henrico County and 72.89% for Virginia. The school also performed well for female and Hispanic students, ranking among the top-performing elementary schools in the state. However, the performance for male students and low socioeconomic status students has been more variable.

While Crestview Elementary's academic performance is strong compared to its district and state, the school faces challenges common to schools serving high-poverty communities. The school has experienced an increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 9.5% in 2022-2023 to 15.7% in 2023-2024. Additionally, Crestview Elementary has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 93.87% in 2023-2024. This high rate of economic disadvantage is also observed in the nearby schools, such as Jackson Davis Elementary and Dumbarton Elementary. The increased per-student spending at Crestview Elementary may have contributed to the school's academic improvements, highlighting the importance of adequate funding for schools serving economically disadvantaged communities.
