 Welcome to the Crestwood eChalk Web site. The Crestwood staff is proud of the accomplishments made by our students and look forward to improving upon those in the coming year. Our SAT scores are rising and our HSAP scores also show significant improvement. Our graduation rate is one of the best in the area.
