Ms. Turiano is the best. My daughter was in her Kinder class last year and learned so much. We are now in a different state, so we cannot attend Crown this year. My daughters math skills are above and beyond her peers as well as her reading. Thank you Ms. Turiano for the perfect start to my childs education.

My son will be going into 1st grade this year. Last year he was excited to go to school. In the beginning he was scared as was all the kindergarteners. They made the transition smooth for them. They had there teachers out to greet them every morning to make sure they made it in safe and had a formulary

The teachers were even sympathetic to the fact that the kids would cry and give them a hug to reassure them that everything would be okay and mommy/daddy would be back for them at the end of the day. After about the first week my son was excited to go to school and play with his friends. The school holds all kinds of events throughout the year and everyone is invited. This gives you a chance to meet the other parents and have family time in a safe environment. They are fun for all ages. At the end of kindergarten, they put on a beautiful graduation. They go all out for the little ones. It was a big deal and something that will be remembered for years to come! The only thing I would have to say is not the best is they only offer hot lunches twice a week. In the beginning they offered for all five days, but mid year they cut it back to two days a week. Other than that the first year was a great experience. Read less

This is my son's 5th year at Crown School and he is thrilled and can't wait to see his friends and teachers again. We are amazed at how advanced the creative writing program is. My son was able to write so well that he could story board his creation and make a mini-movie of his own story. What an

My child attended Crown Charter from kindergarten until 3rd grade. We moved here from Virginia. I will say this the kindergarten program is nice but other than that, I was highly disappointed. As a parent i was not allowed to communicate with my child's teacher like I should. Compared to other children
... Read more my son's age he is really behind. I know some of the parents out there will chime in stating that i need to do some stuff at home and I totally agree. My husband and i both do just that. Furthermore the school is not using current day school books or reading material. Homework consisted of spelling words, definitions and sentences and an occaassional math worksheet here and there. I would not recommend this school. Read less

My daughter was behind and barely passed 1st-4th grade. In fact she failed the 4th grade but was able to move on to the 5th grade because of the no child left behind. I heard of the curriculum at Crown and started my kids there. My daughter has made nothing but A's and B's, she is able to do her work

To read some of these responses, you would think we were talking about 2 differnt schools! Yes, the school is locked down and parents can't just go into the classroom ... THANK YOU Crown for keeping my child safe! There are so many custody battles, you don't know the real intent of people. Necklaces
... Read more are not allowed .. kids are playing on the playground and if it gets caught or another child pulls it even by accident, that wold definitly hurt. Our kids are there for education .. not a fashion show. As far as headbands and bows ... my daughter wears bows and headbands everyday and has not been told she couldn't. The cafeteria .. needs to be enclosed even though there are heater towers and misting system for such weather. The meal program ... inconsistant, but parents should be responsible for providing their kids w/healthy lunches, not the school. Read less

I am a former teacher and search for a decent school for my kindergartner. I chose Crown after seeing the test scores, I love uniforms, and the small size of the school. By December she was reading simple sentences, adding multiple digits, and amazed us everyday with the songs and correct medical knowledge

Now after a year of experience I understand how it works - maybe a parent from 1st grade can assist Kinder. parents? It is nice she goes for academics and then we go to sports/music outside of the school. She loves it and it works for us! Thanks Crown for taking care of my little one! Read less
