Crestview Elementary

Summary:

Crestview Elementary is a public elementary school located in Merriam, Kansas, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 392. It is part of the Shawnee Mission Public School District, which is ranked 46 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crestview Elementary faces significant challenges in student academic performance, particularly in comparison to nearby schools within the same district. The school's performance on the Kansas Assessment Program (KAP) tests is generally lower than the Shawnee Mission Public School District and the state of Kansas averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts was 39.18% at Crestview, compared to 45.71% for the district and 33.55% for the state. Similarly, in Mathematics, Crestview's proficiency rate of 44.65% was higher than the state average of 31.6%, but lower than the district's 43.99%. Crestview's performance is particularly low in 6th grade, where the proficiency rates are significantly below the district and state averages.

Crestview's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools within the Shawnee Mission Public School District, such as Prairie Elementary, Highlands Elementary, and Santa Fe Trail Elementary. These schools consistently outperform Crestview on KAP tests, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The nearby schools also have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
