Summary

Crestwood Street STEAM Magnet is a public K-5 elementary school serving 289 students in Rancho Palos Verdes, operating within the Los Angeles Unified school district, and it has shown significant improvement in recent years to become a solidly average-performing school in the state.

The school's standout strength is in mathematics, where its proficiency rate notably exceeds both district and state averages, and it demonstrates particularly effective support for its economically disadvantaged students. While its overall performance as a STEAM school is good, its science scores are closer to the state average, and year-to-year results in English Language Arts can be volatile. A fascinating nearby comparison is Park Western Place Elementary, which achieves higher academic results with similar student demographics and lower per-student spending, suggesting instructional or cultural factors play a key role in outcomes.

Crestwood outperforms other local Los Angeles Unified schools with similar challenges, like Barton Hill Elementary and Fifteenth Street Elementary. However, a stark contrast exists just over a mile away at Mira Catalina Elementary in the neighboring Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified district, which has much higher test scores, highlighting how district boundaries can create very different educational environments. For families in its district, Crestwood represents a school that is performing above expectations for its student population, with clear strengths in math and a dedicated STEAM focus.
