CELERITY CRESTWORTH CHARTER SCHOOL
Celerity Crestworth Charter School is a Title I public charter elementary school with about 103 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 10 teachers, Celerity Crestworth Charter School has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
Celerity Crestworth Charter School is located in the Scotlandville area of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Operating as part of the broader Celerity Schools Louisiana network, the institution was established with the goal of providing an alternative public school option for students in the local community. The school has historically focused on a college-preparatory curriculum, aiming to foster academic growth through structured classroom environments and an emphasis on foundational skills in reading and mathematics.
It is important to note that the school has experienced a complex operational history. Following significant academic performance concerns and oversight issues common to the broader Celerity network in Louisiana, the school underwent transitions in management and governance. Prospective parents or researchers looking into the school should be aware that educational facilities under this name have faced closures or transitions to new operators over the past several years as part of the Louisiana Department of Education’s efforts to improve student outcomes in underperforming districts.
