While Crest Ridge High has seen a remarkable turnaround, becoming a top-performing school in the state, Crest Ridge Elementary faces more challenges in student achievement.

Crest Ridge High stands out as the shining star, with a significant improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from #243 out of 352 Missouri high schools in 2022-2023 to #45 out of 367 in 2024-2025, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an impressive 97.6% four-year graduation rate and a relatively low 2.8% dropout rate.

The elementary school's test scores are generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. This disparity between the high school and elementary school performance highlights the need to address any underlying issues at the elementary level to ensure a strong academic foundation for students.
