Similarly, in ELA, only 32% of Creswell students were proficient or better, compared to 61% in Caddo Parish and 70% statewide.

Comparing Creswell Elementary to nearby schools, such as Broadmoor STEM Academy, A.C. Steere Elementary, and South Highlands Elementary Magnet, highlights the potential impact of specialized programs and selective enrollment on student outcomes. These nearby schools generally outperform Creswell Elementary in academic achievement, though they also serve a higher percentage of students from low-income families. The two magnet schools in the area, South Highlands Elementary Magnet and Fairfield Magnet School, significantly outperform Creswell Elementary and the district as a whole, with proficiency rates often exceeding 90% in core subjects.
