I currently have 3 children that attend Crestworth, and I must say that the teachers, principal and staff all take pride in the way that interact with your child. They have been supportive, helpful, and understanding. The teachers make an extra special effort to ensure that every child has an keen understanding of the subjects at hand. The principal has an open door policy that would make most companies envious. I must say that this is the first school my children have attended where they knew them by name, and for a child that means alot. Crestworth is a great school. Every one who is a part of Crestworth is like family, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you to the staff for all you do EVERYDAY. God Bless.

All three of my children attend this school. I think the administration, faculty and staff are excellent. They are always willing to help children with whatever problem may arise. Everyone at the school knows each child by name. Thank you Crestworth Elementary for giving children the confidence they need to go out into the world and at least try to succeed.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Louisiana used the integrated Louisiana Educational Assessment Program (iLEAP) to assess students in grades 3, 5, 6, and 7 in math, English language arts, science, and social studies. The iLEAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Louisiana.
