Summary

Crestwood Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 594 students in the Visalia Unified School District, showing a clear pattern of steady academic improvement in recent years despite serving a community with significant economic need.

While test scores in English, math, and science are below the state average, Crestwood is making impressive gains, moving from the 18th to the 39th percentile statewide since 2022. The school has a particular standout strength: its program for English Language Learners ranks in the state's top 17%. Compared to other local schools with similar challenges, Crestwood often performs better; for example, it achieves higher proficiency rates than both Highland Elementary and Washington Elementary. Its math scores also now exceed the district average, a sign of positive momentum.

There are areas for continued focus, such as a noticeable drop in 5th-grade math and science scores, chronic absenteeism that remains high, and a need to strengthen science instruction overall. However, the school's trajectory is positive, with increased funding correlating with better attendance and academic growth. When compared to nearby schools like Royal Oaks Elementary, Crestwood achieves comparable or better results while spending less per student, suggesting effective use of its resources.
