Summary

Crestwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in North Little Rock, Arkansas, serving 491 students in grades K-5. Despite being part of the North Little Rock School District, which is ranked 203 out of 250 districts in the state, Crestwood Elementary consistently outperforms the district and the state of Arkansas in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels.

Crestwood Elementary has been ranked among the top elementary schools in Arkansas, ranging from 17th to 56th out of hundreds of schools over the past decade, and has maintained a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is one of the highest-performing schools in the state. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 18.2 to 19.7 students per teacher in recent years, compared to the other nearby schools which have ratios ranging from 13.3 to 19.0. Additionally, Crestwood Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 100% in recent years, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

While Crestwood Elementary outperforms the North Little Rock School District as a whole, the performance of other nearby schools within the district is more mixed. Schools like Lakewood Elementary and Indian Hills Elementary also perform well, while others like Amboy Elementary and Ridge Road Elementary lag behind. The combination of a low student-teacher ratio, high levels of funding, and a focus on academic achievement may be contributing to Crestwood Elementary's success in effectively serving its high-need student population.
