Summary
Crestline Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Vancouver, Washington, serving 446 students in the Evergreen School District (Clark) near several other district elementary schools. Located on SE 7th Street, Crestline is close to Riverview Elementary School, which provides a useful local comparison. Crestline is a mid-sized school in a district ranked 158th of 238 statewide, or the 34th percentile.
The school’s biggest challenge is academic performance. In 2025–26, Crestline’s proficiency rates were 26.56% in English language arts, 26.84% in math, and 27.94% in science—below both district and Washington averages and below the nearby-school averages. Its overall ranking was the 12th percentile, an improvement from the 8th percentile in 2024–25, but still lower than every nearby comparison school. The contrast with Riverview is especially notable: Riverview ranked at the 66th percentile and exceeded Crestline by approximately 31.8 points in ELA, 20.1 points in math, and 36.1 points in science. Fifth-grade math is a particularly urgent concern, with only 15.15% of students proficient, compared with 34.41% districtwide and 43.32% statewide. Science also declined from 34.78% to 27.94% year over year, while ELA remained nearly flat and math improved modestly.
Crestline’s 52.47% free- or reduced-price lunch rate is close to the nearby-school average, and its 13.9 student-teacher ratio is somewhat better than the comparison average of approximately 14.6. Per-student spending, at $20,543 in 2023–24, was also near the local average of approximately $20,330. These figures suggest that parents and school leaders may want to examine instructional consistency, intervention effectiveness, attendance, curriculum alignment, and grade-level transitions—not simply staffing levels. Recent improvement in the Hispanic-student subgroup ranking, from the 3rd to the 22nd percentile, and Crestline’s earlier stronger science performance show that improvement is possible. Key priorities are strengthening ELA, addressing fifth-grade math, reversing the science decline, and improving outcomes for low-SES students.
