Summary

Crestwood Elementary School serves 538 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Crestwood, in Oldham County. The clearest concern is fifth grade: in 2025–2026, proficiency was 36% in math, 52% in reading, 48% in science, 25% in writing, 44% in social studies and 54% in editing and mechanics. Each result was below the average for the five nearby Oldham County schools in the same subject, making the shortfall broad rather than limited to one test.

Writing is the school’s weakest subject compared with the state, district and nearby schools: its average across tested grades was 25%, versus 35% statewide, 56% in the district and 54% among nearby peers. Science is its strongest relative to the state, at 48% compared with 40%, although it remained below the district’s 51% and nearby peers’ 53%. Overall, Crestwood was above the state in five of six subjects, but below the nearby-school and district averages in all six. There is also a notable grade-level contrast: fourth-grade math proficiency was 61%, above the state’s 43%, the district’s 58% and nearby peers’ average of 56%.

Results have moved in different directions over time: science rose from 30% in 2022–2023 to 48% in 2025–2026, and editing and mechanics from 33% to 54%, while writing fell from 37% to 25%; fifth-grade writing dropped from 62% to 25% in one year. SchoolDigger ranked Crestwood at the 62nd percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, down from the 72nd percentile and 4 stars the year before. Its student–teacher ratio was 13.4 in 2024–2025, below the nearby-peer average of 15.4, while its free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 34% that school year; these are context, not explanations for results. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves students with disabilities ranked at the 11th percentile, down from the 48th the prior year. For students with low socioeconomic status, it ranked at the 22nd percentile, down from the 50th.

if you want your child to Excell do not send them to Crestwood. They do not send children home with homework nor do they challenge the students. my daughter has actually regressed over the last month. we are trying to get her moved it's awful. Close Quote

I have three children who attended this school. My oldest was a student there from kindergarten to third grade. The only reason we left the school was because we were relocated during a job change. I can always find something to criticize, but I haven't a bad word to say about our experience there. The teachers and staff were always responsive to questions or concerns, and I was always amazed on what the kids were learning and doing. The way children are taught today is a far cry from the classes I attended, and at first I was skeptical. However, I was willing to give the new curriculum a chance since they are trained educators. When my 2nd grader began finishing chapter books in a day, I was impressed. The facilities are second to none. The related arts classes are a wonderful introduction to art and music. Every teacher I have worked with has been committed to the kids' success. The staff are always around the school and knew my kids by name. My only regret was that we couldn't take the school with us when we moved. Close Quote

I attended here from first to fifth grade and I didn't learn many essential things like spelling or how to have good handwriting. I didn't like the the teachers much either. Close Quote
