Summary

Crestview Middle School is a public middle school located in Ashland, Ohio, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 268 students. The school is part of the Crestview Local District, which is ranked 313 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crestview Middle School consistently performs above the state average in Ohio State Tests, particularly in Science and English Language Arts. The school's proficiency rates in Algebra I for end-of-course exams are exceptionally high, reaching 100% in recent years, significantly outperforming the state and district averages. Crestview Middle School's gifted and talented students and special education students also perform well, ranking among the top middle schools in Ohio. However, the school's performance for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is relatively lower compared to its overall academic achievements.

When compared to nearby middle schools, Crestview Middle School generally outperforms many of them in academic metrics, such as test scores and rankings. However, schools like Ontario Middle School, Shelby Middle School, and Ashland Middle School, which are within a 15-mile radius, demonstrate stronger academic performance in several areas, suggesting a more competitive educational landscape in the region. Crestview Middle School's per-student spending is higher than the state average, but the school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, which may indicate a need to optimize staffing and resource allocation to better support student learning.
