Summary

Crestwood Elementary School is a K-5 school in the North Little Rock School District serving 466 students, and it stands out as a remarkable "bright spot" in the area by consistently achieving top academic results despite serving a community with extremely high economic need.

What makes Crestwood truly exceptional is its decade-long track record of elite performance, which far exceeds expectations. For the 2025-2026 school year, Crestwood's proficiency rates are roughly double the district average in every subject—for example, 57.7% of students are proficient in math compared to just 28.8% district-wide. This success is even more striking when compared to nearby schools with similar demographics. Just 1.3 miles away, Ridge Road Elementary School and Amboy Elementary School (both in the same district) have proficiency rates that are 2 to 3 times lower. Crestwood also outperforms the state average in every subject, a rare feat for a school with a 100% free/reduced lunch rate. Interestingly, Crestwood's success isn't driven by higher spending—it spends about $12,666 per student, while lower-performing peers like Glenview Elementary School spend over $20,000 per student.

While Crestwood's historical ranking has been elite (consistently in the top 10-20% of Arkansas elementary schools), there has been a slight dip from the 95th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 81st percentile in 2025-2026—a trend worth watching but not a cause for alarm. The school is part of a cluster of high-performing elementary schools in northern North Little Rock, including Lakewood Elementary School (just 0.61 miles away) and Sherwood Elementary School (from the Pulaski County Special School District), suggesting a strong community focus on education in this area. For parents, Crestwood represents a proven, reliable choice that consistently delivers excellent outcomes for all students.
