Summary

Crestview Elementary School in Springfield, TN, serves 755 students in grades K-5 and is the largest elementary school in the area, nearly double the size of most nearby schools. As part of Robertson County Schools — a district ranked in the bottom third of Tennessee — Crestview has engineered a genuine turnaround. After ranking in the bottom 10% of Tennessee elementary schools in 2023-24, the school jumped to the 34th percentile (677th out of 1,019 schools) in 2025-26, earning 2 stars. That 248-place climb over two years is the strongest improvement among nearby schools.

The academic gains were powered by the largest one-year proficiency increases in the area: math jumped 16.5 points to 42.4% (essentially at the state average), ELA rose 13.3 points to 36.5%, and science gained 8.5 points to 32.6%. Chronic absenteeism also fell sharply, from 25.1% to 14.8% — now below both the district and state averages. Improvements were broad-based across student groups, including low-income students and English learners, and the school now outperforms nearby Krisle Elementary School and Cheatham Park Elementary School while matching Jo Byrns Elementary School in math and ELA.

Science is Crestview's biggest challenge: at 32.6%, it trails the district (38.7%) and state (46.9%) by wide margins. Grade-level data shows an uneven pattern — 4th grade is strong with ELA above the state average, but 3rd-grade literacy and 5th-grade science remain far below state averages. Crestview also spends the least per student ($12,579) among Robertson County elementary schools in the area, roughly $2,000–$6,500 less than most peers. While that efficiency is notable, sustaining this progress may require continued investment. Greenbrier Elementary School and Watauga Elementary School remain the higher-performing benchmarks to catch.
