Summary

Crestwood Elementary School in Tampa, FL, is a mid-sized school serving 731 students in grades PK-5 within the Hillsborough School District, where 67.7% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school stands out for its remarkable strength in mathematics, which contrasts sharply with its overall low ranking and challenges in other subjects. For the 2025-2026 school year, Crestwood’s 5th-grade math proficiency reached 61%, exceeding both the district average of 58% and the state average of 62%, a notable achievement for a school with a 1-star rating. This math success has been consistent over recent years, outperforming nearby schools with similar demographics like Morgan Woods Elementary School (29%), Oak Grove Elementary School (45%), and Egypt Lake Elementary School (54%), and even rivaling higher-performing schools like Alexander Elementary School (73%).

However, Crestwood faces a persistent challenge with chronic absenteeism, which affects nearly 4 out of 10 students (39.1% in 2023-2024), significantly higher than the district (31.3%) and state (31.4%) averages. This rate is among the highest in the area, nearly double that of high-performing Carrollwood K-8 School (20.7%) and Alexander Elementary School (22.9%), and comparable to other struggling schools like Morgan Woods Elementary School (40.4%) and Mendenhall Elementary School (39.1%). The school also shows a "two-speed" academic profile, with strong math proficiency (average 57.7% across grades 3-5) but lagging English Language Arts (47%) and science (38%) scores, which trail district and state averages. This gap suggests that while Crestwood has found an effective math strategy, it has not yet replicated that success in other core subjects.

Interestingly, Crestwood’s per-student spending ($12,067) is moderate compared to nearby schools, with Town & Country Elementary School spending the most ($16,931) but ranking lower (10th percentile), indicating that how funds are allocated matters more than the total amount. Crestwood is at a crossroads: its math success shows potential for improvement, but tackling chronic absenteeism is key to boosting overall performance. If attendance improves, the school could become more well-rounded, but if absenteeism remains high, it may continue as a low-ranked school with a single bright spot in math.
