Elementary Schools in Crestwood School District

Summary:

The Crestwood School District in Michigan is home to four elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools include Kinloch Elementary School, Highview Elementary School, Hillcrest Elementary School, and Crestwood Accelerated Program.

Among these schools, the Crestwood Accelerated Program stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in Michigan and maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Kinloch Elementary School has also shown strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math exceeding both the district and state averages. In contrast, Hillcrest Elementary School has struggled, particularly in 4th-grade Math and English Language Arts.

Despite the varying academic performance, all four schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 77.78% to 90.31%. This economic disadvantage may contribute to the high chronic absenteeism rates, which are significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the district exhibits funding disparities, with Crestwood Accelerated Program spending less than a third of what Highview Elementary School spends per student.
