Summary

Cedar Crest Elementary School is a public elementary school in Greenville Public Schools district, serving 305 students in grades PK-5. The school has shown strong academic performance, particularly in math, with higher proficiency rates than the district and state averages. However, Cedar Crest faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, an area the school and district will need to address.

Cedar Crest Elementary has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 82.62% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school has been able to achieve strong academic performance, ranking in the top 120 out of 1,346 Michigan elementary schools for low-income students in 2024-2025. When compared to other nearby schools in the Greenville Public Schools district, Cedar Crest performs relatively well, such as having a 72.7% proficiency rate in 5th grade English Language Arts compared to 62.7% for the district and 44.4% for the state.

However, Cedar Crest Elementary's performance has fluctuated over the years, with the school's statewide ranking ranging from 114 out of 1,344 schools in 2021-2022 (5-star rating) to 802 out of 1,408 schools in 2018-2019 (2-star rating). This suggests the school may be facing challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement. Additionally, while the school has shown strong performance for its low-income students, its performance for other subgroups, such as female and male students, as well as white students, has been more average.
