Summary

Crestline Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 371 students in the Barstow Unified School District, located in a high-needs community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Crestline faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English (10%) and math (5%) far below both district and state averages, placing it among the lowest-performing schools in California. A major factor is chronic absenteeism, with 56% of students missing too much school—a rate nearly triple the state average and the highest among local elementary schools like Cameron Elementary and Skyline North Elementary. This high rate of absences directly impacts learning and is a critical area for improvement.

While the entire Barstow Unified district struggles, Crestline's outcomes are notably lower than other schools with similar student demographics, suggesting school-level factors are at play. For example, Cameron Elementary achieves better results with a comparable student population. A comparison with Yermo Elementary in the neighboring Silver Valley Unified district, which has better attendance and academic performance, highlights that different approaches and resources can lead to different outcomes even in similar communities.
