Crestwood District and Curriculum
The districts believe that, in order to be successful in a rapidly changing world full of technological breakthroughs, an explosion of information, and a rapidly expanding global economy, students need to master not only the basic, necessary information they’ve traditionally learned, but they will also need to acquire new ways to learn that will serve them throughout their lives. The school believes in providing a clear set of standards and expectations for student learning to most effectively utilize the increasingly scarce resources that support education.
We currently cover the following Crestwood-area school districts: Posen-Robbins School District 143½ and Paris Community Unit School District No. 4.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Crestwood District Curriculum
Crestwood’s school districts also believes in using high expectations as a component of fairness by clearly stating standards for achievement and dictating them as being equally available for all students. The districts strive to provide a rigorous but safe learning environment for its students with opportunities for achievement available for all. Students are expected to master a core of knowledge representing the essential skills and knowledge within each discipline, and are tasked to work on projects and other authentic learning methods to instill this knowledge.
The school encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning so that they will become engaged learners. Students are also encouraged to take an interest in their community, not only locally, but on a global level. In these ways, students are prepared to compete in the global economy, whether they pursue post-secondary education or enter the workforce.

Chalk Talk: Honors vs. AP Classes
Advanced Placement (AP) classes are high school classes that follow a set curriculum, concluding in a standardized exam. Teachers must be trained and certified in the curriculum to teach these classes. This curriculum is approved by colleges, and colleges therefore will recognize AP classes as standardized and considers them college-level. Some colleges will give college credit if a student scores high on the final exam, which is scored from 1-5, a 4 or 5 being considered high. If a student scores 3 or higher on 3 AP exams, s/he is considered an AP Scholar, which certainly looks good to an admissions committee. Some colleges will consider a student as having completed basic requirements in that course, so even though they still have to take a class, they are “bumped up” to a higher level. It is possible for a student to enter college as a sophomore because of these college credits. Even colleges that don’t necessarily give credit for AP scores recognize them as an achievement, so they benefit the student in this way.
