Summary

Crestwood Elementary is a PK–5 school in Bonney Lake, Washington, serving 393 students in an area with several nearby elementary schools across the Sumner-Bonney Lake School District, Auburn, Dieringer, and Puyallup districts. The district is a major strength, ranking 13th of 238 Washington districts, while Crestwood ranks 281st of 1,138 elementary schools for 2025–26, placing it in the 75th percentile statewide and earning four stars. Crestwood is a solid statewide performer, although Emerald Hills Elementary, Maple Lawn Elementary, and Bonney Lake Elementary currently rank higher locally.

Crestwood’s 2025–26 proficiency rates were 69.01% in English language arts, 66.08% in math, and 63.79% in science—well above Washington averages of 52.81%, 43.11%, and 50.95%. Math is a particular strength: Crestwood exceeded the district average and outperformed nearby schools such as Lakeland Hills Elementary, Bowman Creek Elementary, Ilalko Elementary School, and Mt View Elementary in all three reported subjects. Dieringer Heights Elementary was stronger in ELA and science but slightly lower in math. Within its own district, Crestwood ranked fourth of five nearby schools in each subject, ahead of Daffodil Valley Elementary but behind the three higher-ranked schools.

The clearest area for improvement is fourth grade: math proficiency was 54%, compared with 72.94% districtwide, and ELA was 64%, compared with 73.2%. By contrast, third-grade math was a strong 77.78%, while science has improved from 57.58% in 2022–23 to 63.79% in 2025–26. Families may also value Crestwood’s favorable 15.4 student-teacher ratio, lower than each nearby same-district comparison school, and $20,572 in per-student spending in 2023–24, the highest among those schools. Subgroup effectiveness rankings are also strong, particularly for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Overall, Crestwood offers above-state academic results, favorable resources, and a stable performance profile, with its main opportunity being to close the gap with the strongest nearby schools—especially in fourth-grade math and ELA.

The leadership is seriously lacking if not damaging to students. Many teachers are new and seem overwhelmed which leads to lack of communication. The funding at this district is nonexistent so when questions get asked about security or educational issues they blame it on that and say they cannot solve the issue. Meanwhile they have a PTA who could be fundraising for some of these issues. I have multiple kids at multiple schools in the district but this one seems particularly frustrating to deal with as a parent. Close Quote

Rude! Some teachers just need to retire. New head staff did not help in a serious situation involving a student and a parent. She didnt want to offend anyone inspite of a no contact order. Student had to change schools. Close Quote
