Best Schools in Crestwood, Kentucky

Crestwood sits in Oldham County, Kentucky, and its public school options skew heavily toward the elementary level — 8 ranked public schools serve the community, the majority feeding into the South Oldham corridor. The district runs a tight geographic footprint, which means most families face a manageable shortlist rather than a sprawling matrix of choices to navigate.

Performance across Crestwood's schools lands well above average. The 8 ranked schools post a mean score of 7.2 out of 10, and 4 of those 8 — exactly half — clear the 7.0 threshold. That 50% rate at 7-plus is a strong signal for a community this size. The range runs from 6.8 at the low end to 8.3 at the top, a compressed band that points to consistent quality rather than a stark split between standout schools and underperformers.

Centerfield Elementary leads the city at 8.3 out of 10, the highest score among all 8 ranked schools. Crestwood Elementary and Kenwood Station Elementary both score 7.7, making them strong alternatives for families outside Centerfield's zone. South Oldham High School checks in at 7.6 — the only ranked high school in the data — and gives families a clear anchor for secondary planning. Locust Grove Elementary rounds out the top five at 6.8, still a solid mark and only a half-point below the city average.

For parents evaluating Crestwood, the practical story is straightforward: this is a high-performing elementary market with tight score clustering. The gap between the top elementary (Centerfield, 8.3) and the fifth-ranked school (Locust Grove, 6.8) spans only 1.5 points. Zone assignment will drive most elementary decisions, but families near any of the top four elementaries are in competitive academic territory. South Oldham High at 7.6 provides a consistent trajectory from elementary through graduation. Parents who prioritize academic performance will find Crestwood's public options reliably strong relative to most peer cities of comparable size.
