of 686 Alabama Elementary Schools

Better than 10% of Alabama elementary schools

Summary

Crestmont Elementary School is a small school in Northport, AL, serving 268 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Tuscaloosa County school district. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1, and about 75% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a high-poverty community.

Academically, Crestmont is currently performing well below district and state averages in every subject. For example, only 18% of 3rd graders are proficient in math, compared to 45% statewide, and 4th grade science proficiency sits at 22% versus 50% statewide. The school's overall ranking has dropped dramatically over the past five years, from the 55th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 10th percentile in 2025-2026. This decline is especially steep for certain groups: special education students fell from the 73rd percentile to the 5th, and low-income students now rank in the 6th percentile. Interestingly, nearby FaucettVestavia Elementary School, just 1.5 miles away, ranks in the 86th percentile with 61% math proficiency—a 43-point gap—despite being in the same district. Even Flatwoods Elementary School, with a similar poverty rate, performs better at the 24th percentile.

There are some bright spots. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, dropping from 21.2% to 7.5%—now better than both district and state averages. Hispanic students have also shown progress, rising from the 17th to the 49th percentile. However, the school spends more per student ($10,253) than several higher-performing nearby schools, and its improved attendance hasn't translated into academic gains. While the school faces real challenges, the success of nearby schools with similar demographics suggests improvement is possible with the right interventions.
