Summary

Crestline Elementary School in Hartselle, AL, is a mid-sized school serving 710 students from Pre-K through 4th grade as part of the highly-rated Hartselle City district, which holds a 5-star rating statewide.

Crestline's most impressive strength is its exceptional support for Special Education students. In the most recent school year, the school ranked 20th out of 403 schools statewide for this subgroup, placing it in the 95th percentile with a 5-star rating—a consistent achievement over the past three years. The school also has a strong track record with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 96th percentile just a year ago. However, parents should be aware of a notable dip in 4th-grade English proficiency, which dropped from 83% to 65% in one year—a significant 18-point decline compared to the district average of 84%. This single-grade, single-subject drop is the main driver behind the school's overall ranking falling from the top 55 schools in the state to 125th. While Crestline remains a solid choice, it is currently the lowest-ranked elementary within its own district, with FE Burleson Elementary School (ranked 28th) and Barkley Bridge Elementary School (ranked 25th) both performing in the top 30 statewide.

Chronic absenteeism is another area to watch. Crestline's rate of 10.8% is higher than the district average (8.2%) and significantly higher than Barkley Bridge's exceptionally low 1.8%. On a positive note, this rate has been steadily improving, down from 15.8% two years ago. When comparing to nearby Decatur City schools, Crestline's performance remains far superior—for example, its 4th-grade math proficiency of 63% is nearly double that of Frances Nungester Elementary School (22%). The data also reveals a consistent "Crestline dip" from 3rd to 4th grade in both math and English, suggesting a potential transition challenge worth asking the school about.
