Summary

Crestview Middle School is a grades 6–8 school serving 596 students in Huntington, Indiana, part of the Huntington County Com School Corp. In 2025–26 the school ranks 281st of 486 Indiana schools, at the 42nd percentile with 2 stars, while its district ranks 160th of 374 at the 57th percentile. That is a notable dip: from 2022–23 through 2024–25 Crestview sat in the 53rd–56th percentile, and it is now below its own district's overall standing.

All-grade ILEARN proficiency in 2025–26 was 31% in English Language Arts, 29% in math, and 38.12% in science — below district averages in every subject (ELA 35.37%, math 39.47%, science 42.45%). Math is the most consistent weakness: the school trails the district by 10.47 points overall, is below both district and state at every grade level, and has shown roughly a 10–12 point gap behind district math averages in recent years. The sharpest single outlier is 7th-grade ELA at 20.92%, less than half the state's 41.7% and below the district's 25.49%, while 8th-grade ELA (36.63%) is above district. Science improved from 36.65% to 38.12% even as the district's science average fell.

Compared with nearby schools, Crestview is mid-to-lower tier: it outperforms Fort Wayne's Miami Middle School, Kekionga Middle School, and Portage Middle School, but trails Riverview School, Norwell Middle School, Indian Springs Middle School, Woodside Middle School, and Summit Middle School. The same-district Riverview comparison matters most: similar chronic absenteeism (17.6% vs 17.5%) and slightly higher poverty, yet higher proficiency in all three subjects. Crestview's own absenteeism has improved from 26.9% in 2020–21 to 17.5% in 2024–25, though it rose from 15.6% the prior year and remains above district and state. About 45.13% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch, and per-student spending was $9,950 with a 15.9 student-teacher ratio — less spending and a larger class than Riverview. Because Woodside and Summit post much stronger results with similar ratios and comparable spending, funding alone does not explain the gap.
