Growing by one grade level each year, Cresthaven will be fully enrolled with 675 scholars in grades K-8 at the start of the 2024-25 school year. Since its founding year, Cresthaven has expanded its campus to include two locations in Plainfield, and in 2020 received its charter renewal from the New Jersey Department of Education.  The following year, NJDOE awarded Cresthaven approval of its charter amendment application, expanding it from a K-5 to a K-8 school.
