The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

My best experiences throughout High School are being apart of my high school wrestling team. Its fun way to get to know other people and bond with a team. I learned many things over my high school career. Like getting involved in the most you can throughout your high school career. My worst experiences have been eating our school lunch the past four years. Our lunch is not very enjoyable. I would like to see a change in more homemade food and less preservatives.

I have enjoyed my time at Crestwood. All of my teachers were very polite and I have always felt welcomed in the environment. Throughout my years of high school, I have participated in things like FFA and Powderpuff. Personally, every student has been kind and accepting towards me. The school is great academic-wise but could improve on other things for student enjoyment.
