Summary:
ZIP code 61944 has seven schools—three elementary, two middle and two high schools—offering schooling from elementary through high school. Test-score results are available for four schools; no supplied results are available for Memorial Elementary or either high school. The clearest overall finding is that the middle schools lead in all-grades ELA, while achievement is uneven across the elementary schools.
Crestwood Junior High School and Mayo Middle School stand out in 2025–2026 ELA, scoring 76% and 74%, respectively, compared with 56% statewide. Crestwood Junior High also leads in math at 45%, 5 points above the state; Mayo’s 38% is 2 points below. By contrast, Carolyn Wenz Elementary School is lowest in both all-grades subjects, at 39% in ELA and 31% in math—17 and 9 points below state results. Crestwood Elementary School is much closer to the state, at 55% in ELA and 42% in math. Science offers another contrast: Mayo’s 8th-grade result is 22 points above the state, while its 5th-grade math is not the elementary schools’ only weakness—both schools are below the state in that grade, and Wenz’s 25% exceeds Crestwood’s 20%.
Results moved in different directions from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: both middle schools improved in ELA and math, while both elementary schools declined. Across the four scored schools, the average ELA advantage over the state narrowed from 10 points to 5; the average math result shifted from 3 points above the state to 1 point below. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 statewide rankings also place Crestwood Junior High and Mayo higher, at the 69th and 68th percentiles, than Crestwood Elementary and Wenz, at the 46th and 20th. As context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 37% at Crestwood Junior High, 56% at Mayo, 41% at Crestwood Elementary and 69% at Wenz; these figures describe school context, not a cause of achievement.
