Summary

Crestview Elementary School is a grades 1–6 school at 7600 E 71st St in Indianapolis, serving 591 students as part of MSD Lawrence Township. It currently ranks 540th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 47th percentile and its best mark in the ten years of history shown — and its proficiency rates in English/language arts (36.21%), math (42.45%) and science (36.82%) all beat the district averages of 31.78%, 32.00% and 28.15%. In other words, Crestview is one of the stronger schools inside a district that ranks near the bottom third statewide, and it has climbed out of the bottom quarter of Indiana schools.

The improvement has been steady rather than sudden. Crestview was a 1-star school as recently as 2017–18, and its 13-point percentile jump this year is the largest single-year move in its history. Chronic absenteeism shows a similar turnaround, falling from 29.3% in 2021–22 to 16.3% in 2024–25 — now below both the district and the state average. Compared with nearby Lawrence schools, Crestview clearly outpaces Skiles Test Elementary School, Sunnyside Elementary School, Harrison Hill Elementary School and Brook Park Elementary School, is essentially tied with Mary Evelyn Castle Elementary School, and trails Forest Glen Elementary School, which posts 52.27% in ELA despite lower per-student spending and larger classes. A few miles away, Robert Lee Frost School 106 - a STEM School spends far more per student within Indianapolis Public Schools yet ranks near the bottom of the state.

Math is Crestview's engine — its third-grade math rate (53.93%) is above the state average — while reading is its weaker subject, and scores decline steadily from grade 3 through grade 6. The school's next step likely depends on turning its attendance and math gains into stronger reading results in the upper grades.
