Summary

Creswell Elementary School in Shreveport, LA, is a PK-5 public school serving 325 students within the Caddo Parish school district, where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting a high-poverty community. The school currently ranks in the 2nd percentile statewide (679 out of 690 schools) and holds a 0-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, a designation it has maintained for most of the past decade, though it briefly improved to the 19th percentile between 2020 and 2023 before sharply declining.

Academically, Creswell’s proficiency rates are dramatically lower than nearby schools. Only 29% of students are proficient in Math and 34% in ELA, compared to top-performing neighbors like South Highlands Elementary Magnet School (99% in both subjects) and Claiborne Fundamental Elementary School (100% in Math). Even Broadmoor STEM Academy (31% Math, 47% ELA) and Caddo Heights Math/Science Elementary (35% Math, 34% ELA) show similar or better scores. The most critical challenge is chronic absenteeism, which stands at 38.3%—nearly double the state average of 22.5% and over 30 times higher than South Highlands (1.2%) and Claiborne (6.5%). This high absenteeism is a major barrier to learning and likely drives the recent academic decline.

Despite these struggles, there are faint signals of hope. Creswell’s 4th-grade scores are consistently its strongest, with 44% proficient in Math and 41% in ELA, compared to lower 3rd-grade scores, suggesting a potentially effective teaching team or intervention program for that cohort. Additionally, the school’s brief improvement to the 19th percentile in 2022-2023 shows that progress is possible, even in a high-poverty setting. However, the school’s systemic challenges affect all student groups, with rankings in the 1st to 3rd percentile across demographics, indicating that addressing absenteeism and providing targeted support will be essential for any sustained turnaround.
