Summary
Crestwood Street STEAM Magnet is a K–5 school in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, serving 289 students in Los Angeles Unified. Compared with the 10 nearby K–5 schools in the supplied data, its results are mixed by subject, but the clearest takeaway is that Crestwood is above state and district proficiency rates in all three tested subjects, with science standing out against nearby schools.
Science is Crestwood’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: 44% of students were proficient, 7 percentage points above the nearby-school average of 37%, placing Crestwood seventh of 11. Math was 50%, 3 points below the nearby average of 53%, while ELA was 54%, about 1 point above its nearby average of 53%; Crestwood ranked fourth of 11 in math and sixth of 11 in ELA. Even so, all three scores were above the state and district: ELA was 4 points above the state and 5 above the district, math was 11 and 10 points above, and science was 8 and 12 points above, respectively. Fourth-grade ELA is the clearest concern: 45% were proficient, 1 point below the state and 2 below the district, and it was the fourth-lowest result among the 11 schools. Third- and fifth-grade ELA results were stronger, at 55% and 60%.
Science has improved markedly, rising from 24% proficient in 2022–23 to 44% in 2025–26—a 21-point gain—and its latest year-over-year increase was 12 points. Chronic absenteeism also fell, from 42% in 2021–22 to 15% in 2025–26; the latest rate was 4 points below the state and 8 below the district. SchoolDigger places Crestwood at the 70th statewide percentile, rank 1,762 of 5,804, with 3 stars; among nearby schools, it is sixth of 11 by percentile. SchoolDigger’s group rankings are notably higher for Hispanic students, at the 89th percentile, up from 66 in 2023–24, and for students with low socioeconomic status, at the 86th percentile, up from 63; these rankings reflect how well the school serves each group compared with those groups statewide. For context, Crestwood’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 22.2, the second-highest among the nearby schools, and 73% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. These measures provide context, not an explanation for the test results.
