Crestwood Elementary consistently ranks among the top 15% of Missouri elementary schools, with strong academic performance that exceeds both the state and district averages. The school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 58.6% in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 41.4%. Crestwood also demonstrates exceptional performance for specific student subgroups, such as White students, low socioeconomic status students, and disabled students, often ranking in the top 10-30 Missouri elementary schools for these groups.

No school needs a "Cultural Diversity" class. They should all be culturally diverse. Otherwise it is just Segregated. Close Quote

excellent school - the staff and teachers are fantastic. The curriculum in place has been amazing - reading by end of kdg; adding 3 numbers together in first grade. The CSR (classroom size reduction) teachers come into the class to work with smaller groups of kids. There are also a number of 'creative' projects the kids do - such as creating cities, or going on field trips to botanical gardens and creating a sculpture that would fit into the gardens. These are things kids at expensive private schools would do. The music teacher is fantastic as well - the concerts the kids do are just wonderful, and incorporate the character values the kids are learning in school. I could go on and on - it really is a terrific school. Close Quote
