Summary:
The Howard-Winneshiek Community School District has one elementary school, Crestwood Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and has an enrollment of 425 students. Crestwood Elementary appears to be a strong-performing school within the district and the state of Iowa, with test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally above the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades.
The school's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 64.4% is also higher than the state average of 59.6%, and Crestwood Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two school years, placing it in the top half of Iowa elementary schools. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.4, which may contribute to its academic performance.
While Crestwood Elementary faces some socioeconomic challenges, with over 54% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's strong academic performance suggests it is effectively supporting its diverse student population and providing a quality education despite these challenges. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,154 may also contribute to its ability to provide quality educational resources and support for its students.
