Summary
Crestview Heights School is a K–6 elementary school in Waldport, Oregon, serving 264 students as part of the Lincoln County School District — a district ranked 113th of 141 in Oregon (20th percentile, 1 star). Within that context, Crestview is a relative bright spot: in 2025–2026 it ranked 338th of 709 Oregon schools (52nd percentile, 3 stars), up from 411th of 706 (42nd percentile, 2 stars) the prior year, and its best recent showing.
Compared with nearby same-district schools, Crestview's academics stand out. Its all-grade English language arts proficiency is 51.5%, above Sam Case Elementary (37.2%), Toledo Elementary School (17.9%), the district (34.4%), and the state (43.8%). In science, Crestview's 32.6% beats the district's 24.1% and the state's 30.6%, and far exceeds Sam Case (17.0%) and Toledo (6.7%). Math is the clear weak spot: 25.6% proficiency is below the state's 32.9% and below Sam Case's 30.0%, though above the district's 20.2% and Toledo's 11.0%. Every tested grade sits below the state in math, with the largest gap in 4th grade (22.6% vs. 38.9%).
Attendance is improving but mixed: chronic absenteeism was 34.3% in 2024–2025, down from 47.7% in 2020–2021 and better than the district's 39.1%, Yaquina View Elementary's 35.3%, and Toledo's 39.7% — but still slightly above the state's 33.5% and well above Sam Case's 26.2%. Crestview spends $25,520 per student, the highest among these nearby schools, and has the lowest student–teacher ratio at 12.9. It serves a high-poverty population, with 89.39% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, similar to its neighbors. One notable bright spot: low-income students ranked in the 81st percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026, above the school's overall standing. The key question for families is whether this year's gains mark a sustained trend.
