Summary

Cresthaven Elementary School in Pompano Beach, FL, is a public school serving 421 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Broward district, and it faces significant challenges despite recent improvements in its student demographics.

While the school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15:1 and spends a relatively high $16,234 per student, its academic outcomes lag behind many nearby schools. For example, Palmview Elementary, just 0.63 miles away, achieves far better results with lower spending ($13,016 per student). A major concern is chronic absenteeism, which, at 31.4%, is nearly double the rate of Somerset Pines Academy (15.9%). Academically, English Language Arts (ELA) is a consistent weakness, with proficiency rates around 45-47% across all tested grades—well below the state average of 60-61%. Math performance is inconsistent; while 3rd and 5th graders score near state averages, 4th-grade math proficiency (46%) is far behind the district average (72%).

Interestingly, the school’s state ranking has dropped from the 49th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 25th percentile in 2025-2026, even as the percentage of students from low-income families decreased from 83.86% to 60.81%. This suggests that instructional programs may not be effectively adapting to the changing student body. On a positive note, science scores have shown potential, with 5th graders exceeding state averages in a recent year. However, the school’s overall performance, combined with high spending and persistent absenteeism, indicates that families may want to explore higher-performing options like Palmview Elementary or Somerset Pines Academy in the same area.
