Summary

Crescent Elementary is a K–5 school in Bakersfield, serving 496 students in Greenfield Union. Its results vary noticeably by subject: science is close to state performance, while math is its clearest academic weakness.

Science is Crescent’s strongest result compared with nearby schools, its district, and the state: 35% of students were proficient, about 1 percentage point below the state, 5 points above the district, and 7 points above the average for seven nearby K–5 schools. It ranked third among those eight local schools in science. Math is the main concern: proficiency was 22%, compared with 38% statewide and 27% in the district; it ranked seventh of the eight nearby schools and was 9 points below their average. ELA was in between at 41%, 8 points below the state and 3 below the district, but third among the local schools.

Results have improved overall, especially in science and ELA. From 2023–24 to 2025–26, science proficiency rose from 13% to 35%, narrowing its gap with the state from 18 points to about 1; ELA rose from 30% to 41%, while math increased just 3 points and remained about 16 points below the state. SchoolDigger placed Crescent at the 36th statewide percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26, up from the 20th percentile two years earlier. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 20.5, the lowest among the seven same-grade-span local peers, and 94% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show a notably higher standing for Low Socio Economic Status Students, at the 52nd percentile in 2025–26, than for the school overall; its ranking for Female Students was lower, at the 20th percentile.
