Summary

Crestview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami Gardens, Florida, serving 238 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 22 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crestview Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.2% to 31.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores are also generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 22%, compared to 56% for the district and 55% for the state. Additionally, Crestview Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.85% to 92.83% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Crestview Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, such as Golden Glades Elementary and Parkview Elementary, it becomes evident that Crestview is performing below average, with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. The school's inconsistent ranking and declining performance over the years suggest that there may be underlying issues that need to be addressed to support the unique needs of its student population.
