Summary

Crestview Elementary is a PK–5 school in Richmond, VA, serving 388 students and operating within Henrico County Public Schools, a district that ranks in the 31st percentile statewide.

Crestview stands out because it performs well despite serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged population. In 2024–25, 89.2% of its students qualified for free/reduced lunch, yet the school ranked in the 56th percentile of Virginia elementary schools for 2025–26—far ahead of many nearby schools with similar demographics. For example, Dumbarton Elementary, Ridge Elementary, and Charles M. Johnson Elementary all fall in the bottom 5% of schools statewide. Crestview also outperforms its district in most subjects—such as 5th grade math (84.78% proficient vs. 70.25% for the district) and reading (82.61% vs. 68.86%)—and even beats the state average in several areas. Only Three Chopt Elementary (75th percentile) posts better scores among its high-poverty neighbors, while affluent schools like Tuckahoe Elementary and Mary Munford Elementary (both 97th percentile) serve a very different student population with less than 9% economic disadvantage.

A hidden strength is attendance. Crestview’s chronic absenteeism rate is just 10.6%, well below the district (14.1%) and state (14.8%) averages, and notably better than most comparable schools like Skipwith Elementary (17.5%) or Elizabeth Holladay Elementary (15.9%). The school also maintains a low student–teacher ratio of 13.3:1 and spends $11,900 per student, which likely supports smaller class sizes. While 5th grade reading is strong (82.61%), 3rd grade reading (66.15%) sits slightly below the state average—an area for future focus. Additionally, female student performance has declined from the 76th percentile to the 43rd percentile over three years, while male students improved. Overall, Crestview is a resilient, high-performing school that is clearly "punching above its weight" given its circumstances, with strong attendance and consistent academic gains.
