Additionally, Crescent School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.0% to 27.6% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While Crescent School's student-teacher ratio of 19.6 in 2023-2024 is lower than some nearby schools, its performance lags behind several other Canyons District schools, such as Sprucewood School, Sunrise School, and Altara School, which have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better rankings. Addressing the challenges faced by Crescent School, such as its socioeconomic status and academic performance, may be crucial for improving the school's overall outcomes and student success.
